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): OH7700011
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 280,000
Service connections: 94,791
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

AKRON CITY PWS is among the 11 largest community water systems in Ohio, serving 280,000 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 51 entries between 1985 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 51, 40 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules, and inorganic chemicals.
