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): IL0550050
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 8,104
Service connections: 3,581
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

BENTON is one of 248 community water systems in Illinois in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 8,104 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 38 entries between 1991 and 2026, of which 6 remain open; none are health-based.

Of the 38, 23 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 the Lead and Copper Rule, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
