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 ID (PWSID): IL0270050
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 1,231
Service connections: 501

ALBERS is one of 773 community water systems in Illinois in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,231 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 26 entries between 1977 and 2026, of which 4 remain open; none are health-based.
