How do I submit a Distribution System Materials Inventory?

These instructions apply for submitting either preliminary or complete Distribution System Materials Inventories (DSMI).

  1. On the left main navigation bar under Dashboard, click Create Activity.

  2. Create a new activity.

    1. Click the dropdown for Category and select Lead and Copper.

    2. Click the dropdown for Activity Type and select Distribution System Materials Inventory.

    3. Input the community water supply that you work for, either by searching for the water supply by name or by the last 5 digits of the Public Water Supply ID (PWSID, previously called WSSN, Example: 04312).

  3. On the bottom right, click Create. Doing so will bring you to a new screen with an overview of the DSMI submission.

  4. Scroll down to the Customer Attachments card.

  5. Click on the Upload Attachment.

  6. Click on the Browse or drag files button to attach the file.

  7. Select the appropriate File Type and click the Save button.

  8. Scroll up to the Tasks card, check off any incomplete Tasks, once complete.

If the distribution system is limited in extent, you do not need to upload the Inventory file (only the Summary file) and may mark that task complete without uploading the Inventory file.

  1. Scroll up and click on the Proceed to Certification button. On the dialog box, click on a second Proceed to Certification button to confirm.

  2. Once you click Proceed to Certification, you are not done yet. The certifier for your supply must click Submit to EGLE and then certify. Once this is complete, you have officially submitted the Distribution System Materials Inventory.
