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): NC1050030
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 74
Service connections: 29
Ownership: privately owned
Water source: groundwater (wells)

PINCHOT S/D is one of 4,942 community water systems in North Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 74 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 39 entries between 2003 and 2021, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2021.

Of the 39, 27 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 volatile organic chemicals, the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
