CCR Rule Module

The final Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) rule was published in the Federal Register in November 1998. The rule requires water suppliers to provide annual reports on the quality of their drinking water to their customers. This material provides key information to states and Regions to guide their implementation of the CCR rule. EPA has developed additional implementation aids to assist States, EPA Regions, and community water systems (CWSs) to comply with this rule.

The CCR Rule slide presentation is available for download as a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation or an Adobe PDF file. All other files are provided in PDF format. (ALL ABOUT PDF FILES) You can download the PowerPoint® Viewer or Adobe Acrobat Reader if you do not already have them.

EPA has developed additional implementation aids to assist States, EPA Regions, and CWSs to comply with this rule. Final versions of these products are available on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/ccr1.html.
