Yes—if your main needs are sampling schedule management and EPA drinking water report preparation, I’d look for software built for water utilities / environmental compliance, not generic compliance tools.
Good options to consider
1. Cityworks
- Strong for asset management + work order scheduling
- Commonly used by utilities
- Can help organize sampling tasks and compliance workflows
- Better if you also want field operations and maintenance tied in
2. Brightly (formerly Lucity / other utility compliance tools)
- Often used by public utilities for regulatory tracking
- Can support recurring sampling calendars, tasks, and reminders
- Useful if you need broader utility compliance management
3. Envirosuite / compliance-focused water modules
- More oriented toward environmental compliance and operational monitoring
- Good for centralized data and reporting workflows
- Worth evaluating if you want more advanced tracking and analytics
4. WaterTrax
- Specifically designed for water and wastewater compliance
- Strong fit for sampling schedules, sample tracking, and regulatory reporting
- Often a good match for EPA/state drinking water compliance needs
5. Opperman / EHS compliance platforms with water modules
- Good for compliance calendars, evidence management, and reporting
- Best if you need water compliance inside a larger EHS program
If EPA report preparation is the priority
Look for features like:
- CDD/CCR support (Consumer Confidence Report / annual drinking water reporting)
- Sample result uploads
- Automatic rule triggers for missed samples / resampling
- Audit trail
- Role-based review/approval
- Reminder and escalation workflows
- Data export for state/EPA templates
My short recommendation
If you want something purpose-built for drinking water compliance, start with:
- WaterTrax — strongest direct fit for sampling and regulatory reporting
- Cityworks — best if you also need work orders and asset management
- Brightly/Lucity-type utility platforms — good if you want a broader municipal compliance system
Questions to narrow the best choice
If you tell me:
- your utility size
- whether you need CCR generation
- whether you want cloud or on-prem
- and your budget range
