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.

FREEBURG is one of 248 community water systems in Illinois in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 4,707 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 1994 and 2015, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2015.

The record involves the Total Coliform Rules, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
