What is Drinking Water Electronic Lab Reporting (DWLER)?

• A. A Pennsylvania electronic reporting system that allows laboratories to securely submit drinking water sample data to Pa. DEP over the Internet.
• B. A paper-based reporting system.
• C. A software that analyzes lab results locally without reporting.
• D. A version of the SWRO reporting standard.

Answer: (A)

DWLER is an electronic system used in Pennsylvania that lets laboratories securely submit drinking water sample results to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection over the Internet. This enables timely, paperless reporting with standardized data formats, improving accuracy and secure transmission to the regulator. It is not a paper-based system, not a local analysis tool that doesn’t report, and not a version of a different reporting standard.
