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): MT0000338
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 459
Service connections: 180
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

SUNBURST TOWN OF is one of 1,084 community water systems in Montana in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 459 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 53 entries between 1993 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 53, 47 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 the Total Coliform Rules, the Lead and Copper Rule, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
