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): PA6610023
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 9,608
Service connections: 4,527
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

OIL CITY is one of 298 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 9,608 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 45 entries between 1976 and 2014, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2014.

Of the 45, 41 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.
