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): TN0000079
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 6,268
Service connections: 2,690
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

BRISTOL-BLUFF CITY U.D. is one of 153 community water systems in Tennessee in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 6,268 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 54 entries between 1989 and 2018, of which 3 remain open; none are health-based.

Of the 54, 48 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.
