4. Inventory Includes information such as System location Population served Service connections Water source Water System Facilities Administrative Contact 4

5. Sampling Information includes lab results for contaminants: Chemical Microbiological Radiological Any contaminant regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act 5

6. Monitoring Monitoring information contains the schedule for sampling under each EPA Rule, such as Total Coliform Rule Lead and Copper Rule Arsenic Rule The Monitoring and Sampling portion of SDWIS allows the state to compare the two and determine non-compliance (violations) 6
