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): CO0146588
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 1,460
Service connections: 1,004
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

OURAY CITY OF is one of 305 community water systems in Colorado in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,460 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 75 entries between 2000 and 2026, all of which EPA lists as closed.
