It outlines the eight critical survey elements, including water sources, treatment, distribution systems, storage, pumping facilities, monitoring, management, and operator certification. The guide details the scheduling process, the necessity of facility access, and the importance of reviewing past survey data and compliance letters to address previous deficiencies. Designed to ensure systems meet Oregon Administrative Rule requirements, this resource emphasizes readiness for inspections conducted every three to five years by state and local regulatory agencies to ensure the delivery of safe drinking water. It includes practical steps for accessing online records, utilizing official survey forms, and coordinating with technical service staff to maintain system integrity.",{"@graph":63,"@context":119},[64,80,102],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":11,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/presentations/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/preparing-for-a-water-system-survey-2026-edition/375992/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/preparing-for-a-water-system-survey-2026-edition/375992.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Hazel","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-19","2026-09-24",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":101},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",7,{"@type":103,"mainEntity":104},"FAQPage",[105,111,115],{"name":106,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":108},"What is the purpose of a water system survey?","Question",{"text":109,"@type":110},"The survey is an on-site review of a system's water sources, treatment, distribution, storage, monitoring, management, and operator certification to ensure the system can reliably deliver safe drinking water.","Answer",{"name":112,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":113},"How often are these water system surveys conducted?",{"text":114,"@type":110},"Surveys are required to be conducted every three to five years under Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 333-061-0076.",{"name":116,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":117},"What information should a water system prepare before a survey?",{"text":118,"@type":110},"Systems should review their online data, check internal files or contact regional technical service staff, and pull previous survey reports and letters to note any past deficiencies or unmet rules that need follow-up.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":78,"og:type":121,"og:title":59,"og:site_name":91,"og:description":61},"article",{"robots":123,"canonical":78},"index,follow",{"doc_id":125,"site_id":56},375992,1791724375,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":128},{"doc_id":125,"user_id":129,"nickname":88,"user_avatar":130,"doc_module":9,"category_id":8,"category_name":11,"doc_title":59,"doc_description":61,"doc_content":131,"file_id":132,"file_url":133,"file_type":134,"file_size":135,"view_count":101,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":9,"is_downloadable":9,"audit_status":9,"page_count":25,"language":136,"language_code":57,"site_id":56,"html_lang":57,"table_of_contents":137,"faqs":138,"seo_title":139,"seo_description":61,"update_tm":140,"read_time":47},137441390410,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/2000252f4ab5702993?_k=1776741390130283984","May 20, 2026  \nPreparing for a Water System Survey  \nOutline  \nSURVEY REQUIREMENTS:  \nEIGHT SURVEY ELEMENTS GETTING STARTED  \nSCHEDULING  \nREVIEWING: DATA ONLINE / PLAN REVIEWS  \nPREPARING:  \nPREVIOUS SURVEYS AND LETTERS  \nCRUSTY'S TAVERN AND CAMPGROUNDTIPS FOR SUCCESS  \nQUESTIONS & ANSWERS  \n2  \n Survey Requirements   \nAn on-site review of sources, treatment, distribution system, storage, monitoring and reporting, management and operations, and operator certification-to determine system’s ability to deliver safe drinking water  \nConducted every three to five years  \nRequired under Oregon Administrative Rule –(OAR) 333-061-0076  \n3  \n Survey Requirements: Eight Survey Elements   \nWater sources  \nTreatment  \nDistribution systems Finished water storage Pumping facilities & controls Monitoring & reporting Management & operations Operator certification  \nbarrier  \n4  \nSurvey Requirements  \nGetting Started   \n• Survey list for the year: [https://yourwater.oregon.gov/wss.php](https://yourwater.oregon.gov/wss.php)  \n• Files/Records – check your files or contact regional technical service staff  \n• Use most recent OHA-DWS Survey Forms: [https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/HEAL](https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/HEAL)THYENVIRONMENTS/DRINKINGWATER/PARTNERS/Pages/surveys.aspx  \n5  \n Scheduling   \nRegulators should notify public water systems that survey will be scheduled in that calendar year.  \nState, County Health Departments, and Department of Agriculture can call or email to schedule the site visit.  \nAccess to all facilities is required!
