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

BENTON MUNICIPAL WATER AUTH 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 1 item for BENTON MUNICIPAL WATER AUTH that is open and awaiting resolution. None are health-based violations — open items of this kind are most often monitoring or reporting requirements, not water-safety findings.

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

System facts

System ID (PWSID): PA4190014
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 1,333
Service connections: 494
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

BENTON MUNICIPAL WATER AUTH is one of 757 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,333 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 109 entries between 1982 and 2024, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.

Of the 109, 104 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules.

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.
