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): PA7360090
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 304
Service connections: 152
Ownership: privately owned
Water source: groundwater (wells)

LANCASTER EST is one of 3,064 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 304 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 57 entries between 1976 and 2026, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 57, 43 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 synthetic organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and the Groundwater Rule.
