Is EPHRATA WATER DEPARTMENT required to publish a Consumer Confidence Report?

Yes. EPHRATA WATER DEPARTMENT is a community water system, and federal rules (40 CFR 141 Subpart O) require every community water system to publish a Consumer Confidence Report each year.

When is EPHRATA WATER DEPARTMENT’s next Consumer Confidence Report due?

EPHRATA WATER DEPARTMENT’s next Consumer Confidence Report is due by July 1, 2027. The report covers calendar year 2026.

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): WA5323650
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 8,718
Service connections: 3,708
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

EPHRATA WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 112 community water systems in Washington in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 8,718 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 147 entries between 1979 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 147, 135 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 the Total Coliform Rules.

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.

EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
