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 type: Community Water System
Population served: 891
Service connections: 499
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

COLUMBIA WATER SYSTEM is one of 749 community water systems in North Carolina in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 891 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 36 entries between 1987 and 2011, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2011.

The record involves synthetic organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
