Local Water Quality Report
What is a Consumer Confidence Report? The 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments require that, beginning in October 1999, all community water systems provide customers with an annual report on the quality of their drinking water. The law calls this report a Consumer Confidence Report.
How does the CCR get distributed? One copy of the report must be mailed to each customer, unless the governor of a state has waived the mailing requirement for community water systems serving fewer than 10,000 persons.
Who gets copies of CCRs? All water systems that serve more than 10,000 persons must deliver one copy of the CCR to each of their customers. Customers are defined as the listed accounts that are billed for water service.
Must a system give out its CCR on request? Yes. Contact your water utility for information.
If there is a question about a utility's compliance, any customer or public health interest group can file a complaint with either EPA or the State Drinking Water Administrator. The EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline: (800) 426-4791
