Monitoring and Reporting for Surface Water Systems

Monitoring and reporting that you must do to confirm that your surface water system is providing safe drinking water. Public notifications of violations. Consumer confidence reports. Forms, instructions, and guidance.

	Filter Assessment Report Forms and Instructions The Filter Assessment Report (FAR) must be completed and submitted when an individual filter has confirmed effluent turbidity readings above 1.0 NTU on three separate occasions during any consecutive three months. The SWMOR spreadsheet automatically determines if a FAR is needed. This file contains the FAR form, an example of a completed FAR form, and instructions.
	Filter Profile Report Forms and Instructions The Filter Profile Report (FPR) must be completed and submitted when an individual filter has confirmed effluent turbidity readings above 1.0 NTU. This file contains the FPR form, an example of a completed FPR form, and instructions.
