Drinking Water Watch Replacement System
Description
Expect at least 1 year until up and running (6 months for contracting, 3 months for OIT, 3 months for configuration + training). Costs are $25k for the initial license. Hosting $33K/yr for up to 500 users (DEP, CEHA) + unlimited public use. This assumes there are no major set up issues (security, networking, or customization to the baseline product.) The biggest concerns are (1) reaching GEC via the contract process.
Project Justification
Drinking Water Watch is outdated and difficult to maintain. This tool is essential for filtering, viewing, and retrieving data out of SDWIS. A modernized version of this tool must be pursed to replace Drinking Water Watch as soon as possible.

Extensive work with OHSP, OIT, DOIT security, and GEC has taken places over the past 3 months. The development application is up and running in the cloud and can communicate to our server and database here at OIT. The project is ready for the configuration phase and admin training phase.
We are waiting for WRM to identify who will be responsible for the admin responsibilities of the application. When that happens we can schedule the training and UI configuration.
