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): KY0870298
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 16,391
Service connections: 6,331
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

MT STERLING WATER WORKS is one of 104 community water systems in Kentucky in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 16,391 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 42 entries between 1993 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.

Of the 42, 25 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 volatile organic chemicals, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
