Consumer Confidence Reports (CCRs) are essential tools for communicating water quality information to the public. Engineering Management, Inc.

​

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?

A Consumer Confidence Report, also known as an annual drinking water quality report, is a document that public water systems are required to provide to their customers. The CCR includes information about the source of the water, any contaminants found, and how those contaminants compare to the standards set by the Environmental Protection Division (EPD). These reports are crucial for keeping consumers informed about the quality and safety of their drinking water.
