CAIRO WATER DEPARTMENT Water System

Consumer Confidence Report status

CAIRO WATER DEPARTMENT must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.

As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show 2 items for CAIRO WATER DEPARTMENT that are open and awaiting resolution. None are health-based violations — open items of this kind are most often monitoring or reporting requirements, not water-safety findings.

Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace West Virginia’s official records. Always confirm current status with West Virginia before making decisions based on this information.

CAIRO WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 760 community water systems in West Virginia in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 339 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 57 entries between 2000 and 2025, of which 2 remain open; none are health-based.

Of the 57, 40 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 Total Coliform Rules, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.

Yes. CAIRO 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 CAIRO WATER DEPARTMENT’s next Consumer Confidence Report due?

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

Does CAIRO WATER DEPARTMENT have any open drinking water violations on record?

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.
