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.

HINCKLEY Water System

Consumer Confidence Report status

HINCKLEY must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.

As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show no open violations for HINCKLEY.

Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace Illinois’s official records. Always confirm current status with Illinois before making decisions based on this information.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): IL0370200
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 2,006
Service connections: 851
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

HINCKLEY is one of 773 community water systems in Illinois in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,006 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 63 entries between 1977 and 2016, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2016.

Of the 63, 51 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 volatile organic chemicals, the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.

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.
