## The portal situation

We have not verified a dedicated compliance portal for Eastern Municipal Water District - Purchasing. Your contract documents are the source of truth: if a system like LCPtracker, Elation, or PRISM is named, uploads there are the awarding body's monitoring copy. Either way the direct DIR eCPR filing under your own registration is a separate, standing obligation on non-exempt projects ([DIR eCPR FAQ](https://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/ecprfaq.html)).

## Your filing duties on these projects

- **Direct DIR eCPR filing.** On a registered public works project you submit electronic certified payroll records directly to DIR at least monthly, or more often when the contract says so, under your own PWCR registration ([Labor Code 1771.4](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=LAB&sectionNum=1771.4)). DIR is explicit that submitting certified payroll to the awarding body, the prime, or a portal "does not put you in compliance with the state unless you submit eCPRs directly to DIR" ([DIR eCPR FAQ](https://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/ecprfaq.html)).
- **Federal WH-347 weekly** when federal money is in the project, with the Statement of Compliance signed ([U.S. Department of Labor](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/forms/wh347)).
- **Records on demand.** A written request for certified payroll records starts a 10 day clock. Miss it and the penalty is $100 per worker per calendar day, enforceable by withholding from your progress payments ([Labor Code 1776](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=LAB&sectionNum=1776)). From January 1, 2027, [SB 909](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB909) (Chapter 660, Statutes of 2026) raises it to $140 per worker per calendar day; [what SB 909 changes](https://wellstanding.com/guides/sb-909-prevailing-wage-penalty-increases-2027/).

## Working for a water or sanitation district

Special districts like water and sanitation agencies are steady public works buyers with small procurement teams. Few run compliance portals; most rely on DIR's own systems for certified payroll. That makes the direct eCPR filing the whole game: there is no GC portal to hide behind, and a records request under Labor Code 1776 comes straight to you.
