When documents come in via mail, email, or fax, these documents need to be uploaded to the proper Community Water Supply Entity with the correct Activity Type and File Type. The following steps outline the process for uploading documents into MiEHDWIS. Visit the CWS File Types, Activity Types, and Activity Categories article for a complete list of options.

The process for uploading Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) and CCR Certificates of Distribution (CCR Cert) documents is slightly different than for other documents, please visit How Do I Upload a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) and CCR Certificate of Distribution? for specifics on the unique steps.

  1. Starting on the Entity Overview page, click on the Activities tab, then Create.

    1. Activity Name: If you are unsure of what to name the activity, check out Suggested Naming Convention for CWS Files/Activities

    2. Activity Type: If you are unsure of the correct activity type to choose, check out CWS File Types, Activity Types, and Activity Categories

    3. Submitted Date: Date the document was received by EGLE

  4. Click Browse or drag files.

  5. Upload or drag the file(s) associated with the Activity onto the screen.

    1. If applicable, also upload email received.

  6. Fill out the file(s) details including:

    1. File Type: Select the appropriate file type that best fits the document upload from the drop-down list.

    2. File Name: If uploading from email, leave file name as it was received in the email. If file was scanned and then uploaded, apply the CWS standard nomenclature to file name.

    3. Submitted Date: Enter in the date in which the data was reported to EGLE. Most often this is going to be the email received date.

    4. File Month: If the data is reported monthly, e.g., MORs, monthly total coliform results, select the month in which the data reflects. Select the month from the drop-down list.

    5. File Year: Set the year to match the contents of the file.

      1. MiEHDWIS defaults the File Month and/or File Year for some File Types, so double check that the year was set correctly.

      2. If the data is reported on an annual frequency, select the year in which the data reflects, e.g., Pumpage Annual Report, Consumer Confidence Reports, Cross Connection Annual Reports, etc.  For all other file types, select the current year, e.g., Reliability Study, General Plans, Tank Inspection, etc.

    6. File Description: Optional field.

  7. Click Upload.

  8. Make sure the file(s) details look correct. Close out of file drawer.

    1. If file details need to be edited, click on the File Name (hyperlink) of the file that was just uploaded to get to File Details.

      1. When on the File Details screen, click Edit.

      2. Make necessary edits, click Save.

      3. Go back to the Activity Overview page. This can be done by clicking on the Activity ID | Activity Name in the breadcrumb trail.

  9. Click Transition, then click Notify Reviewer.

    1. This is a crucial step in the process. This step notifies the next internal reviewer in the process. Double check to make sure a Workgroup and/or Individual person is listed under Assigned Workgroup and/or Assigned Individual.
