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): OH4001912
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 5,846
Service connections: 2,436
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

WELLSTON CITY PWS is one of 192 community water systems in Ohio in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 5,846 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 84 entries between 1991 and 2026, of which 2 remain open; none are health-based.

Of the 84, 61 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 synthetic organic chemicals, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
