Water monitoring
How to record water safety evidence in Crown: municipal reports, lab-tested samples, and TDS readings.
Water safety is tracked as a prerequisite program, but how you log it depends on where your water comes from. You set your source when you create the program, and Crown shows the matching tools on the program page.
Municipal water
If your water is municipal, the evidence is your supplier's annual water quality report. Attach that report to the program. Crown keeps it on file as your water safety evidence and tracks when it's due to be refreshed.
Well, trucked, or mixed sources
If your water isn't municipal, you record lab-tested samples instead.
- Record a sample
On the program page, record a sample: its sample code, the source, the sample site, and when it was collected.
- Enter the results
When the lab results come back, select Record results and finalize the sample as passed, failed, or passed with deviation.
TDS readings
If you treat your water (for example, with a reverse-osmosis system), you can log TDS readings in parts per million against your spec. Enter the reading, and optionally the source (pre-treatment) TDS and a note. Crown charts your readings over time so you can see the trend and spot a filter that's drifting before it fails.
What's next
Water sits alongside your other monitoring programs. See Logging monitoring checks for sanitation, pest, and allergen, and Compliance health for how overdue water testing surfaces.
