Consumer Confidence Reports

All Community Water Systems must provide their consumers with a summary of their water quality each year. This is called a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR), or Right-to-Know Report. The US EPA has more information about CCRs at their web site.

The CCR is a report that tells the consumers of Community water about the quality of their water at the tap for the previous year. It will tell you:

• Who your supplier is, and how to contact them,
• Where your water comes from,
• How it is treated,
• What substances have been found in your water, and
• What your supplier is doing to protect your water.

Large Community Suppliers (go here for a list) must produce their own, or hire a contractor to prepare it for them.

HEALTH assists Small Community Suppliers to prepare their CCRs through a contract with the Atlantic States Rural Water and Wastewater Association (ASRWWA).
