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.

MOUNTAIN SPRING WATER SYSTEM Water System

Consumer Confidence Report status

MOUNTAIN SPRING WATER SYSTEM must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.

As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show 2 items for MOUNTAIN SPRING WATER SYSTEM that are open and awaiting resolution. None are health-based violations — open items of this kind are most often monitoring or reporting requirements, not water-safety findings.

Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace North Carolina’s official records. Always confirm current status with North Carolina before making decisions based on this information.
