Description: All Indiana water systems (CWS or NTNCWS) must submit their initial service line inventories to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) by October 16, 2024. This virtual training session will focus on how to utilize 120Water’s PWS Portal to import (from IDEM Service Line Inventory Template , if applicable), manage, and report their service line inventory data in accordance with IDEM reporting requirements to ensure water system compliance.
All Indiana water systems are welcome to join this and future training sessions, but these are tailored more toward water systems with greater than 1,000 service connections.
