Water Protection Program - Public Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Reports

Consumer Confidence Reports

Each year, by July 1, public water supplies are required to make Consumer Confidence Reports available to their customers. These reports provide consumers with the following information

the lake, river, aquifer, or other source of the drinking water;
a brief summary of the susceptibility to contamination of the local drinking water source, based on the source water assessments;
how to get a copy of the water system’s complete source water assessment;
the level (or range of levels) of any contaminant found in local drinking water, as well as the federal health-based standard (maximum contaminant level) for comparison;
the likely source of that contaminant in the local drinking water supply;
the potential health effects of any contaminant detected in violation of health standards and an accounting of the system’s actions to restore safe drinking water;
the water system’s compliance with other drinking water-related rules;
an educational statement for vulnerable populations about avoiding Cryptosporidium;
educational information on nitrate, arsenic, or lead in areas where these contaminants are detected above 50 percent of federal standards; and
phone numbers of additional sources of information, including the water system and the Department of Natural Resources.

Many of the small systems are able to distribute the information through newspapers or by other means. The largest water systems must post their reports on the Internet, in addition to other delivery mechanisms, to make the reports easily accessible to all consumers. Here is a list of water systems that currently have their reports posted online. The department is not responsible for the content nor the accessibility of the Web sites listed below.
