Public Water Supply Systems Search Parameters

Drinking Water Watch (DWW) allows state drinking water administrators, laboratories, and the public to access drinking water information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). It can be deployed on the World Wide Web outside a state's electronic firewall and does not require sign-in authentication for access. The database from which DWW retrieves its information is a static copy of the state’s custodial drinking water database, which is refreshed at the state’s discretion.  

This search page lets you search the drinking water database for two broad categories of information: public water systems (inventory, sampling schedules, violations and enforcement actions) and sampling data reported for public water systems.  All search field criteria on the Search Page are “and” criteria.  That is, each field where you specify a search value should be interpreted as further constraining the search by “and”.  You can enter search criteria anywhere on the page.
