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.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): AR0000681
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 1,543
Service connections: 617

Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

MORNING STAR PUBLIC WATER AUTHORITY is one of 376 community water systems in Arkansas in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,543 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 25 entries between 1993 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

The record involves inorganic chemicals, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Total Coliform Rules.
