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): KY0960126
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 3,861
Service connections: 932
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

FALMOUTH WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 150 community water systems in Kentucky in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 3,861 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 54 entries between 1994 and 2021, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2021.

The record involves volatile organic chemicals, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
