Scattered regulatory sources
Updates may appear across rulemaking pages, permit programs, implementation memos, manuals, bulletins, enforcement advisories and state agency communications.
RegWatch for Water & Wastewater Utilities
Stay ahead of water and wastewater regulatory change—without adding more manual monitoring.
Monitor the federal, state, Tribal and local drinking water, wastewater, permitting, resilience and cybersecurity sources your organization selects. When something changes, RegWatch helps your team understand what changed, what may be affected and what to review next.

Why RegWatch
Water and wastewater compliance is not one rulebook.
Requirements are distributed across EPA, state primacy and permitting agencies, Tribal and local authorities, permit programs, utility commissions and cybersecurity guidance. RegWatch brings the selected sources into a consistent monitoring and review process.
Different systems, permits and jurisdictions
Drinking water systems, treatment plants, collection systems and multi-state operations may need separate watchlists and owners.
Procedures can lag behind change
Teams need a repeatable way to connect new requirements with sampling plans, operating procedures, emergency plans, permits and public communications.
Deadlines need operational context
A raw alert is not enough. Reviewers need the source, key dates, affected topics and a focused path to evaluate next steps.
Monitoring Coverage
Build a watchlist around how your utility actually operates.
Select the agencies, jurisdictions, permits, standards and guidance sources relevant to your drinking water and wastewater operations. Expand coverage as systems and obligations change.
Drinking water standards and monitoring
Selected Safe Drinking Water Act and National Primary Drinking Water Regulation sources, including contaminant monitoring, treatment, reporting and public-notification materials.
Lead, service lines and customer reports
Lead and Copper Rule materials, service-line inventory and replacement updates, and Consumer Confidence Report requirements and implementation guidance.
Wastewater discharge permits and standards
Clean Water Act and NPDES sources covering municipal discharges, effluent limits, reporting, permit administration and state-authorized program updates.
Pretreatment, collection systems and overflows
National Pretreatment Program materials, industrial-user requirements, local-limit topics, and selected sanitary or combined sewer overflow sources.
Biosolids and residuals management
Selected 40 CFR Part 503, state biosolids, sewage sludge, residuals, monitoring, recordkeeping, use and disposal materials.
Resilience, emergency planning and cybersecurity
Selected AWIA and SDWA resilience sources, emergency-response guidance, and EPA, CISA or state water-sector cybersecurity materials.
Monitor availability and applicability vary by source, permit, jurisdiction and organization. Your team chooses the watchlist it wants RegWatch to follow.
How RegWatch Works

Frequently Asked Questions
Water and wastewater monitoring, without the guesswork.
Start with selected-source monitoring, then add document assessment workflows when your team is ready.
Request a DemoWhich water and wastewater sources can RegWatch monitor?
Organizations can build watchlists from selected federal, state, Tribal and local sources, including drinking water rules, primacy-agency materials, NPDES program sources, pretreatment requirements, biosolids materials, resilience guidance and cybersecurity sources. Available coverage depends on the selected monitors and sources.
Can we monitor both drinking water and wastewater requirements?
Yes. A utility can organize selected drinking water and wastewater sources in the same RegWatch environment, while using separate watchlists or ownership workflows for different systems, permits, facilities or jurisdictions.
Can RegWatch monitor permit-related changes?
Selected permit program pages, manuals, bulletins, rulemaking sources and other permit-related materials may be monitored when available. The utility remains responsible for its permit conditions, applicability decisions and required submissions.
Can we use RegWatch without uploading policies or procedures?
Yes. RegWatch can be used for regulatory monitoring and organized change review without uploading documents. Policy and procedure uploads are optional and support assessment workflows when useful.
Does RegWatch determine legal applicability or replace utility counsel?
No. RegWatch provides regulatory intelligence and workflow support. Your organization determines which requirements apply and should obtain legal, engineering or other professional advice when needed.
