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): OR4100624
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 4,670
Service connections: 1,858
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

PHILOMATH PUBLIC WORKS is one of 63 community water systems in Oregon in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 4,670 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 47 entries between 1994 and 2024, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 47, 37 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 the Total Coliform Rules.
