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): NC0319126
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 23,088
Service connections: 9,235
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

CHATHAM CO-NORTH is one of 150 community water systems in North Carolina in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 23,088 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 47 entries between 2004 and 2024, all of which EPA lists as closed.
