Basic Information
EPA requires community water systems to deliver annual drinking water quality reports to their customers. These reports enable Americans to make practical, knowledgeable decisions about their health and their environment.
The annual drinking water report:
- Provides customers with water quality information from the previous calendar year.
- Must be distrubuted to consumers by July 1st each year.
- Supplements public notification that water systems must provide to their customers upon discovering any violation of a contaminant standard.
Smaller water systems may be able to distribute the information through newspapers or by other means. Larger water systems must post their reports on the Internet to make the reports easily accessible to all consumers.
