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.

ELKTON is one of 124 community water systems in South Dakota in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 755 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 4 entries between 1976 and 1990, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1990.

The record involves the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule, the Miscellaneous Other Rules, and inorganic chemicals.
