Consumer confidence reports (CCR) are just one part of the 1996 revisions to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The revisions require all systems to prepare an annual report on source water and the levels of contaminants found in the drinking water. This article details how the report must be made available to the consumers and what information the report must contain.
