Which statement about the CCR is true?

• A. It is a monthly report to inform on water usage.
• B. It is an annual report informing consumers about drinking water quality.
• C. It is a one-time memo sent to regulators.
• D. It is issued only when a violation occurs.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that the CCR is an annual report that informs consumers about drinking water quality. Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, community water systems prepare and distribute this report each year to residents, summarizing what was found in the water, whether any standards were exceeded, and how the water is sourced and treated. It also provides health information and guidance on how to get more details or ask questions. It’s released every year, not monthly, not as a one-time memo, and not only when a violation occurs. The CCR helps people understand what’s in their drinking water and what the system is doing to protect it.
