Note to clients:

There have been some concerns expressed about the recent Java 7 security vulnerability in relation to the Electronic Reporting of Environmental Monitoring Information sites (Drinking Water and Continuous Emissions Monitoring). We want to assure our clients that vulnerability does not affect ESRD's system in any way.

Compatibility:

Currently the Electronic Reporting of Environmental Monitoring Information sites are compatible with Java 6 (update 12 or higher ). Although clients are able to run multiple versions of Java (such as version 6 and 7) simultaneously, work is underway to add Java 7 compatibility to better suit the needs of our clients running on Java 7. The following workaround is offered if you are using Java 7.

Java 7 WORKAROUND

Trust:

Recent security bulletins and updates (as they pertain to Java 7) are designed to protect users against malicious websites or tools designed to exploit the Java vulnerability. As a trusted party, ESRD's systems have always and will continue to be secure regardless of the clients operating system and browser.
