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): CO0121125
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 29,610
Service connections: 9,111
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

CHEROKEE MD is one of 87 community water systems in Colorado in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 29,610 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 68 entries between 2005 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.

All 68 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves synthetic organic chemicals, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and inorganic chemicals.
