MATERIALS SURVEY WORKSHEET (MSWS)
Materials Survey Worksheet (MSWS)
All public water suppliers must complete a MSWS of their system to identify their pool of sample sites
MSWS must be completed before sampling for lead and copper- start early!
Every PWS must fill out a MSWS, but only need to submit it with the Sampling Plan when the sampling plan has sites other than Tier 1 sites
MSWS should be constantly updated (every sampling round) to ensure that the highest tier sites are included in the sampling plan
Keep track of MSWS changes over time; assign someone to this task
Slide provided by MassDEP LCR workgroup – Catherine Wanat, WERO
Gathering Information for MSWS
Service Line Tie-cards
Building Permits
Plumbing Codes and Permits
Distribution Maps and Drawings
Inspection and Maintenance Records
Meter Installation Records
Permit Files
Interviews with Senior Personnel, Building Inspectors, and Retirees
PWSs should survey all records documenting the materials used to construct and repair the distribution system and buildings connected to the distribution system

Common Mistakes Made on MSWS
TOTAL NUMBER OF SITES EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF SAMPLES REQUIRED, RATHER THAN THE NUMBER OF SERVICE CONNECTIONS IN THE PWS DISTRIBUTION
PUTTING ALL SERVICE CONNECTIONS ON WORKSHEET 1
