Update PWS Population Served                               

Overview

The PWS Population Served page allows you to update the population served by a PWS by entering the information directly into the system or uploading the population served data to the WFRS administrator in a tab-delimited file. The following information is displayed for each PWS: PWS ID and full name of the public water system, total population served by the water system, and the date the population served information was last updated. Click on a column heading to sort the table by a particular column.
