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.

HELENA Water System

Consumer Confidence Report status

HELENA must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.

As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show no open violations for HELENA.

Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace Oklahoma’s official records. Always confirm current status with Oklahoma before making decisions based on this information.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): OK2000210
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 443
Service connections: 244
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

HELENA is one of 1,277 community water systems in Oklahoma in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 443 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 70 entries between 2001 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 70, 62 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 Lead and Copper Rule, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
