Introduction

The Water Fluoridation Reporting System (WFRS) has been developed to provide tools to assist states in managing fluoridation programs.

WFRS is designed to track all community water systems, i.e.

• Fluoridated water systems

• Water systems that add fluoride

• Water systems that are naturally fluoridated

• Water systems that are not fluoridated

The main features/sections in WFRS are:

• Log into WFRS

• Manage water systems associated with an owner state, territory or tribe and manage county, community and population served by a water system.

• Enter monthly fluoride data for monitoring the water quality and fluoridation levels

• Generate WFRS monitoring, operational, and diagnostics reports

• Update population data for all counties within jurisdiction

• Manage owner regions, users, and default optimal criteria

• Manage user accounts; add, edit, and delete user

Access Levels in WFRS

WFRS users may be associated with a state, territory, or tribe. Users are  assigned different levels of access to data in the system. You can be assigned one of the following access levels:

• Read/write access

• Read only access

You cannot change your access rights, but you can request that CDC change them for you.

Note: The pop-up blocker feature must be turned off (disabled) in order for Reports to display properly. For more information on pop-up blockers, go to Turning off Pop-up Blockers.
