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): VA1173742
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 1,276
Service connections: 447
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

RYE VALLEY WATER AUTHORITY is one of 391 community water systems in Virginia in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,276 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 70 entries between 2002 and 2024, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 70, 66 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, inorganic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.
