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): TX1830008
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 1,050
Service connections: 350
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

GARY WSC is one of 1,859 community water systems in Texas in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,050 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 51 entries between 2008 and 2026, of which 5 remain open; none are health-based.

Of the 51, 19 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 the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
