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.

Consumer Confidence Report status

OWENSBORO MUNICIPAL UTILITIES must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.

As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show no open violations for OWENSBORO MUNICIPAL UTILITIES.

Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace Kentucky’s official records. Always confirm current status with Kentucky before making decisions based on this information.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): KY0300336
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 60,473
Service connections: 25,874
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

OWENSBORO MUNICIPAL UTILITIES is among the 11 largest community water systems in Kentucky, serving 60,473 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 123 entries between 1992 and 2016, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2016.

Of the 123, 117 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 synthetic organic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.
