ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • EMOR Coming Soon!

    EMOR, a tool for reporting MOR data electronically to ADEM, is expected to become available in late February for optional use beginning with submittal of the February 2025 MOR. Systems are encouraged to use the electronic system and provide feedback to ADEM.

  • Consumer Confidence Report (Calendar Year 2024)

    It's that time of year again! Consumer Confidence reports must be developed, distributed, and submitted to ADEM by July 1, 2205. Reports must be submitted via EDWRS using Document Submissions and include a copy of the distributed CCR and completed ADEM Form 347.

    Wholesale systems are required to provide the CCR to their purchase systems by April 1, 2025, unless a different date has been agreed upon.

    As a reminder, the CCR has many content requirements, including, but not limited to, required language, definitions, and tables, a summary of the calendar year's violations, information on lead and copper, unregulated contaminants, and other special sampling, and information related to actions taken in response to microbiological sampling and inspection findings.ADEM Admin. Code Chap. 335-7-14 contains regulations related to the content of CCR reports.

    If you have questions related to the preparation of your CCR, please contact your district inspector or call the Drinking Water Branch at 334-271-7773

Welcome

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) is providing a web-enabled electronic drinking water reporting system (EDWRS) for public water systems and certified labs to manage submissions, including monthly operational reports (MOR), consumer confidence reports (CCR), Lead Service Line Inventories (LSLI), Public Notice Proof Packages (PNOT) and drinking water analytes required by Alabama's drinking water program.

The EDWRS provides public water systems with the ability to submit required documents by category and electronically validated analytical results via direct entry or XML upload. Document submissions are available for review and can be quickly made available to the public through ADEM's eFile system. Analytical results are electronically validated and imported into SDWIS/State, the state's central drinking water database. All successful submissions will receive acknowledgement of receipt via email.

The EDWRS provides the following benefits:

  • Saves public water systems and labs time and money by providing a single tool for meeting reporting requirements
  • Saves resources by providing a central repository for managing submissions and reducing the need for storage and retention of paper records
  • Improves the accuracy of compliance data through by eliminating potential errors associated with manual data entry
  • Improves Alabama's drinking water program's effectiveness in evaluating and responding to potential compliance issues with minimal burden on public water systems
