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.

Consumer Confidence Report status

BAKER CITY 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 BAKER CITY.

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 Oregon’s official records. Always confirm current status with Oregon before making decisions based on this information.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): OR4100073
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 10,349
Service connections: 4,500
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

BAKER CITY is one of 63 community water systems in Oregon in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 10,349 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 93 entries between 1976 and 2024, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 93, 90 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, synthetic organic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.

Common questions

Is BAKER CITY required to publish a Consumer Confidence Report?: Yes. BAKER CITY is a community water system, and federal rules (40 CFR 141 Subpart O) require every community water system to publish a Consumer Confidence Report each year.
When is BAKER CITY’s next Consumer Confidence Report due?: BAKER CITY’s next Consumer Confidence Report is due by July 1, 2027. The report covers calendar year 2026.
Does BAKER CITY have any open drinking water violations on record?: As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show no open violations for BAKER CITY.
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.
