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.

CENTRAL is one of 347 community water systems in Florida in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 13,595 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 27 entries between 2000 and 2026, all of which EPA lists as closed.
