Consumer Confidence Reports

Community water systems provide an annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) to customers by July 1.
These reports are also known as annual water quality reports or drinking water quality reports. The CCR summarizes information regarding sources used (i.e., rivers, lakes, reservoirs or aquifers) any detected contaminants, information on compliance and educational information.

EPA's Web site for CCRs provides access to CCRs nationwide, information regarding the content of the CCR, frequently asked questions and more. 

This demonstrates EPA's commitment to public health protection and the public's right-to-know about local environmental information.  The "right-to-know" provisions are based on the premise that accountability to the public is vital to address and prevent threats to drinking water. 

Discover how the right-to-know provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act can help you learn about and protect your drinking water.  

CCRs are an opportunity for community water systems to:

  • Respond to customers' need for information.
  • Advance understanding of issues.
  • Enlist customers in source protection issues.
  • Build partnerships with stakeholders.
  • Form the centerpiece of a communication program.
