Launched in November 2005, WCIT is a secure, online database  profiling chemical, biological and radiological contaminants of concern  for drinking water and wastewater utilities. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">WCIT includes both regulated and non-regulated  contaminants and provides current, reliable data from peer-reviewed  reports and research. The system includes general information for 93  contaminants and now includes additional information in four new data  categories: drinking water treatment; wastewater treatment; environmental  impacts; and infrastructure decontamination. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Access to WCIT data is password protected,  and qualified individuals must apply to EPA and undergo screening before  being granted access. Currently, drinking water and wastewater utilities,  state drinking water primacy agencies and laboratories, drinking water  and wastewater associations partnering with EPA, state and local public  health officials, and federal officials (including government laboratory  personnel) are eligible for access. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><em>SOURCE: U.S. Environmental Protection  Agency<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>environmental Strategist, between the lines: For any of you who work for or with drinking water and\/or wastewater utilities, this competitive environmental intelligence can be very beneficial.
