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): IL0630400
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 1,361
Service connections: 576
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

GARDNER is one of 773 community water systems in Illinois in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,361 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 26 entries between 1977 and 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.

Of the 26, 14 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 Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
