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): NM3521308
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 4,464
Service connections: 1,800
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

OTIS MDWCA is one of 37 community water systems in New Mexico in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 4,464 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 27 entries between 1991 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.

Of the 27, 15 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 the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
