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): PR0004574
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 134
Service connections: 50
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

TIBES is one of 449 community water systems in Puerto Rico in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 134 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 26 entries between 1998 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

Of the 26, 20 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 the Surface Water Treatment Rules, volatile organic chemicals, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
