EPA data updated Oct 7, 2026

Consumer Confidence Rule (CCR)

Community water systems must deliver an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) to all customers by July 1, covering the previous year.
EPA rule code 7000 · Monitoring and Reporting

What it means: Community water systems must deliver an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) to all customers by July 1, covering the previous year. It must list all detected contaminants, compare them to MCLs, identify source water, and include educational language about lead. A violation means the report was not delivered on time or was incomplete.

Health effects: No direct health risk — this is an administrative transparency obligation. Failure means customers lack information to make informed decisions (e.g., whether to use bottled water for infants when lead is elevated).

Limit: No MCL — this is a reporting requirement

Fluoride

Fluoride occurs naturally in groundwater drawn from fluoride-bearing rock, and many public supplies add it at about 0.7 mg/L to reduce tooth decay.
EPA rule code 1025 · Inorganic Chemical

What it means: Fluoride occurs naturally in groundwater drawn from fluoride-bearing rock, and many public supplies add it at about 0.7 mg/L to reduce tooth decay. The MCL addresses excess natural levels, which are rare in surface water but possible in some groundwater.

Health effects: Above 2 mg/L: dental fluorosis (mottling/pitting of tooth enamel) in children under 8. Above 4 mg/L: skeletal fluorosis (joint pain, increased bone density) after decades of exposure.

Limit: 4 mg/L primary MCL; 2 mg/L secondary MCL (cosmetic)

About this contaminant
About this data

EPA counts the rules a system was in violation of, not the individual violations; one rule can carry several in the same period. Unresolved means still in violation at EPA's latest data refresh. Measured contaminant levels are not part of this record; each system publishes them in its annual Consumer Confidence Report.

The Georgia records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
