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): KY0280267
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 3,039
Service connections: 1,962
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

MARION WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 209 community water systems in Kentucky in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 3,039 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 45 entries between 1993 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 45, 15 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, inorganic chemicals, and the Former Total Trihalomethane Rule.
