EPA Issues Revised Requirements for Consumer Confidence Reports

On May 15, 2024, the U.S. EPA announced the final Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) Rule revisions to make annual drinking water quality reports more understandable and accessible to the public. These reports are a tool drinking water systems use to inform customers about water quality and any contaminants that have been found in the water. Starting in 2027, the final Rule will require the CCRs to be easier to read and support access to translations in appropriate languages while enhancing information about lead in drinking water. U.S. EPA is also taking steps to streamline the delivery of reports by encouraging electronic methods. For more information see Consumer Confidence Report Rule Revisions | US EPA
