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): TX1830001
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 6,770
Service connections: 6,020
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

CITY OF CARTHAGE is one of 817 community water systems in Texas in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 6,770 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 79 entries between 2008 and 2026, of which 3 remain open; none are health-based.
