titleIs it accurate for the Sample Site
Statis
Status to be
“New”
‘New’ when the site has been sampled previously?

Yes, ‘New' Sample Site status is only new in the context of creating a new form within MiEHDWIS. It doesn't mean that the sites haven’t been sampled before. We expect that every site first reported in the MiEHDWIS form will be submitted to EGLE as New, and that's ok. We can cross-reference the older paper form.

titleWhat if known Interior material consists of more than 1 material?

In the case of Lead service lines, you can select either /or material, as neither will change the Tier (Tier 1).  In the case of non-lead service lines, the material chosen does affect the calculated Tier.  (We are still working on eventually being able to select more than 1 option.

titleDoes the Copper 'installed before/after July 1988' matter for Interior material?

The copper installation date does not matter for Tier 1 lead service line sites.  For non-lead service line sites only, the copper installation date decides whether sites are Tier 3 sites.

titleIf Interior pipe material is not known in a section of the service
(primarily interior) -
how is that to be entered?

Choose ‘Unknown’ for the Interior Plumbing Material field (see screenshot below).
(info)‘Unknown’ is a permitted answer only for sites with a lead service line, and in the case of lead + other materials.
