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): CO0110010
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 500
Service connections: 202
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

EMPIRE TOWN OF is one of 1,060 community water systems in Colorado in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 500 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 40 entries between 2007 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.
