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): IL0850050
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 347
Service connections: 194
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

APPLE RIVER is one of 1,572 community water systems in Illinois in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 347 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 49 entries between 1977 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.

Of the 49, 43 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 inorganic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.
