What is a Consumer Confidence Report?

A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.

PHENIX CITY UTILITIES is one of 131 community water systems in Alabama in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 42,267 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 33 entries between 2003 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.

The record involves synthetic organic chemicals, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
