July 2026 Release Notes – Klir v9.9.8

What’s New in v9.9.8

Klir v9.9.8 is focused on Industrial Pretreatment. The headline is big: Industrial Users can now submit Sample Monitoring Reports straight through Klir Connect, with a structured review workflow on the utility side, full CROMERR compliance, and a rebuilt approach to report requirements and scheduling. Alongside that, benchsheets got easier to read and sample result exports got smarter, plus the usual round of fixes. Here's everything, section by section.

Community Updates

Klir Connect: IU Self-Service Submission

Industrial Users now have a dedicated self-service experience for submitting SMRs directly to the utility. No paper, no email.

• Role-based access: Authorized Signatories sign and submit, Data Preparers enter and prepare report data

• Identity proofing, Electronic Signature Agreement (ESA), and two-factor authentication built into onboarding

• Report submission via file upload or structured data entry, with an embedded document viewer

• Two-way comments between the IU and the utility, with notifications on both sides

• Submission receipt email and a Copy of Record issued to the IU on every successful submission

CROMERR Compliance, Built In

For utilities under the Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (40 CFR Part 3), every element of the regulatory framework is built into the submission workflow.

• Signature Ceremony: a deliberate, audited signing step separate from data entry

• Copy of Record (COR): an immutable, tamper-proof record generated at submission and stored in Azure Blob Storage

• Full audit trail: signer IP, password changes, security question history, and contact role changes

Structured Submission Review

When a report is submitted, a review ticket is automatically created for utility staff, so your team has a structured profile view to action the report, not just a file sitting in an inbox.

• Review queue ticket auto-created on every submission, with status tracking from receipt to completion

• Submitted report profile with document viewer, checklist, comments, and data review

• Ticket closes automatically once the utility marks the report complete

Report Requirements & Scheduling

Report requirements have been rebuilt at the IU facility level, with a new creation flow, recurring scheduling, and a full lifecycle from creation through deletion.

• Recurring and single report requirement creation, with a new workflow and flexible reporting periods
• Report schedule list, due date management, and calendar-based date selection
• Checklists can be created, edited, duplicated, archived, and linked to recurring requirements
• Permit-level report requirements have migrated to the facility level; the legacy card is now hidden

Supporting Changes

• Discharge permit limit set and monitoring requirement workflows updated to support the SMR initiative

• Sample evaluations now use calculated evaluations for improved accuracy

Coming in Upcoming Releases

The following SMR items are in active development and will land in a future release:

• Nuvo import for sample results during a sample submission
• Auto-population of sample parameters from the monitoring plan in the sample submission
• Data review tab with a side-by-side view of entered data and lab results
• Email notifications for reports due
• Ability to update security questions and answers through the Klir Connect portal
• Issue generation workflow

• Improvements to the edit sample submission workflow

Drinking Water & Wastewater Updates

Enlarged Benchsheet Cell Sizes

We've improved the cell sizing across benchsheet tables. Tables now make better use of the available page space, and font sizes have been increased for visibility.

Sample Results Export Reflects Sort Order

Exporting sample results now preserves whatever sort order you've applied on screen, so the export matches what you're looking at.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

This release also includes a round of fixes across Community and Drinking Water / Wastewater to improve reliability and day-to-day workflows.

• Community: resolved an issue where certain benchsheet fields did not save correctly on first entry

• Community: fixed a display issue affecting IU facility profiles

• DW/WW: resolved an issue causing intermittent load errors on sample result screens

• DW/WW: fixed inconsistent filtering behaviour on select dashboard views
