Village Voice: Ada consumer confidence report available

The 2016 Ada Consumer Confidence Report, also known as CCR, is now available to the general public.

Making the report available is an annual requirement for compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act for community water systems throughout the country.

According to the U.S. EPA, the report “lists the regulated contaminants found in the drinking water.....as well as health effects information.”

The Village passes this information along to its consumers not just to comply with the federal regulations, but also because the administration feels it is important for consumers to know where their drinking water comes from and what affects it.
