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): MT0000344
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 2,000
Service connections: 864
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

TOWNSEND CITY OF is one of 123 community water systems in Montana in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,000 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 89 entries between 1999 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

The record involves synthetic organic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and inorganic chemicals.
