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.

SALEM CITY is one of 180 community water systems in Ohio in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 16,850 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 21 entries between 1985 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

The record involves inorganic chemicals, synthetic organic chemicals, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
