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): TX1170007
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 100
Service connections: 60
Ownership: privately owned
Water source: groundwater (wells)

PANHANDLE UTILITY is one of 4,188 community water systems in Texas in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 100 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 77 entries between 2002 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 77, 75 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 volatile organic chemicals, synthetic organic chemicals, and inorganic chemicals.
