ASDWA/EPA DATA MANAGEMENT USERS CONFERENCE
May 9-11, 2017

The HiltonCincinnati – Netherland Plaza

This is the year of CMDP. After NextGen came Prime. Then before Prime came CMDP. Yes, it may be confusing, especially to those who haven’t been following it since day one, but now we have a working product! CMDP = the first real outcome of this long, involved process. Finally, the hard work is paying off and there is a tool we can use to support state drinking water programs, EPA, water systems, and laboratories. We have hit a major milestone but there are still many miles to go. Just like with CMDP, it will take all of us working together to get to the end of the road. Realistically, we never reach the end of the road but we can make the next milestone. Will we get to the next milestone by September 30, or all the way there by March 2018? We can, if everyone works together - starting right here in Cincinnati!
