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.

HAZARD WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 104 community water systems in Kentucky in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 26,730 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 24 entries between 1992 and 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.

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