Note: If you represent a public water system, please determine whether your lab will upload results for you.
Once ADEQ receives your email, we will begin creating test CMDP accounts.
Once the test accounts are finalized, ADEQ will schedule a time to demonstrate the CMDP process with you.
You must complete test uploads to ensure you can submit accurate information without errors.
Once tests are successfully uploaded, ADEQ will begin creating your official account.
If you are a CMDP certifier or CMDP administrator for your organization, you must sign the ADEQ Electronic Signature Agreement before your account can be approved | Agreement Form >
- Accurate Chain of Custody forms ensure timely results are uploaded. Chains of Custody for compliance samples must include the following:
- The correct public water system name, ID, and sampling location.
- Accurate sample collection date and time.
- An indication that the sample is for compliance when submitted to the laboratory.
Note: Chains of Custody not marked for compliance cannot be used for compliance purposes by ADEQ and cannot be changed by the laboratory. The only minor data adjustments the laboratory may make are location clarifications (e.g., if the system has only one EPDS numbered EPDS001 and the EPDS was documented as EPDS100). The public water system is responsible for ensuring that information is submitted correctly to the laboratory.
- Public water systems must continue to notify ADEQ of any total coliform-positive samples, E. coli-positive samples, and MCL exceedances within 24 hours of being notified about the issue, even if the lab is designated as the primary reporting entity. They should also continue to inform their Compliance Assistance Coordinator of any exceedance.
- ADEQ encourages public water systems to work closely with their designated laboratory to ensure accurate and timely data submission when the laboratory serves as the primary uploader. While laboratories play a critical role in the process, public water systems are ultimately responsible for compliance. If monitoring deadlines are missed, resulting violations are issued to the public water system, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the submission.
- ADEQ highly recommends documenting and frequently reviewing the responsibilities of all parties involved in the reporting process. ADEQ is not responsible for establishing agreements or designating role responsibilities amongst these parties.
- These changes do not affect any lab-maintained results databases for customers, and results, if applicable, will still appear there first.
