Draft Technical Guidance
DEP ID: 383-2129-003. Title: Consumer Confidence Report Handbook. Description: This document was developed to provide guidance to community water suppliers that must comply with the consumer confidence reporting requirements specified at 25 Pa. Code § 109.416 (relating to CCR requirements), which took effect on August 10, 2002 (32 Pa.B. 3894). Under § 109.416, requirements for community water systems were put in place to require these systems to prepare and provide to their customers an annual consumer confidence report (CCR) on the quality of the water delivered by the public water system. These requirements incorporate the provisions of the Federal CCR Rule that were mandated by the 1996 Amendments to the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and represent the cornerstone of the public right-to-know provisions in the SDWA. This guidance was developed under the authority of the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17) and 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 109 (relating to safe drinking water).
