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): KY1030480
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 6,500
Service connections: 36
Ownership: state government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

MOREHEAD STATE UNIVERSITY is one of 150 community water systems in Kentucky in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 6,500 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 81 entries between 1993 and 2016, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2016.

Of the 81, 58 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, inorganic chemicals, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
