Advisory Tracking

Agencies overseeing many water systems and large geographical areas have to manage and track information about advisories such as boil water advisories, beach closures, shellfish advisories and spills. In many cases, advisory information such as the type, reason, status and actions is difficult to compile and report because it may be generated and stored in several different places and by many different people.

WaterTrax is a powerful tool for agencies to manage, track and follow up on advisories. The WaterTrax Advisory Tracking service logs the status of each advisory into a single database so that agencies have access to all current and historical advisories under their jurisdiction. Because WaterTrax maintains all water related data in a single database, agencies have an overview of the health and status of all water systems and the environment under their jurisdiction. In addition, the easy to use WaterTrax reporting system gives agencies immediate online access to reports on current advisories and their status.

When adverse events occur, agencies can use the WaterTrax Advisory Tracking feature to determine the most effective remedial action, based on past histories. This WaterTrax feature helps agencies allocate their resources based on health and safety priorities, ensuring that advisory hot spots are dealt with appropriately. Agencies can determine if previous corrective actions need to be modified when events recur.

Advisory Tracking gives agencies a powerful tool that uses historical information to guide future actions. Agencies that use WaterTrax for advisory tracking can implement best practices to inform the public and regulators about adverse events and continually provide updated information regarding the advisory.
