The Purpose of the annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is to improve public health protection by providing educational material to allow consumers to make educated decisions regarding any potential health risks pertaining to the quality, treatment, and management of their drinking water supply. 

Some of the Public Health Benefits of providing the CCR are as follows: 

• Increased consumer knowledge of drinking water sources, quality, susceptibility to contamination, treatment, and drinking water supply management.
• Increased awareness of consumers to potential health risks so they may make informed decisions to reduce those risks, including taking steps toward protecting their water supply.
• Increased dialogue between drinking water utilities and consumers to increase understanding of the value of drinking water and water supply services and to facilitate consumer participation in decisions that affect public health.
