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): TX0700054
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 117
Service connections: 39
Ownership: privately owned
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

HOWARD WATER COOP is one of 4,188 community water systems in Texas in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 117 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 69 entries between 1978 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 69, 15 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 inorganic chemicals, the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
