Consumer Confidence Reports

Every year each community public water system in the state of Mississippi is required to prepare and make available to all customers a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). The CCR must contain information on the quality of the water delivered by the water system and characterize the risks, if any, from exposure to contaminants detected in the drinking water in an accurate and understandable manner. The EPA through the MS State Department of Health is asking to increase the readability, clarity and understandability of the report. Please provide a paragraph that includes general information about your system, improvements you have made in the past year, future expansions and any other information you wish to pass on to your customers.

If you would like to add your logo or any pictures to your CCR, please email them to melindasmith42@gmail.com.
