It is again time to begin preparing your Consumer Confidence Reports. One of the requirements of the CCR is to note the source of the systemís drinking water. You can do this by general description or by map.

However, the EPA encourages water systems not to give specific locations of the water source for security reasons. Map a general area to show the water source, or give a compass direction of where the water source is in comparison with a city or town, i.e. the aquifer is located east of Y City.
