Download a user guide with instructions on how to use IDWDP to upload and maintain a service line inventory with these new features. A video demonstration has been added to the Lead & Service Line Inventories webpage under the "Iowa DNR Service Line Inventory Online Submission" accordion tab of the "Service Line Inventory Resources for Public Water Supply Systems" page section.
