What is a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR)?
In 1996, Congress amended the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) that added a provision requiring that all community water systems deliver an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) to their customers. The Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is a document that provides consumers with information about the quality of drinking water in an easy-to-read format. The CCR summarizes information that your water system collects to comply with Federal and State (TCEQ) regulations. It includes information about the source(s) of water used (i.e., rivers, lakes, reservoirs, or aquifers), chemical contaminants, bacteriological contaminants, compliance with drinking water rules, educational health information, water system contact information, and public participation opportunities.
What is the importance of a CCR?
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires every community public water system to provide a CCR to their customers every year by July 1st, which includes information from the previous calendar year. These reports are also known as annual water quality reports or drinking water quality reports.
