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): IL0670250
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 2,510
Service connections: 1,300
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

CARTHAGE is one of 773 community water systems in Illinois in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,510 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 51 entries between 1994 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 51, 35 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, inorganic chemicals, and synthetic organic chemicals.

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.
