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): PA3480050
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 96,867
Service connections: 34,385
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

EASTON AREA WATER SYSTEM is one of 175 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 96,867 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 65 entries between 1986 and 2014, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2014.

Of the 65, 59 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
