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): IL1350150
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 647
Service connections: 290
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

COFFEEN is one of 773 community water systems in Illinois in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 647 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 28 entries between 1977 and 2025, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.

Of the 28, 19 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.
