Which NOT a required CCR content?

• A. Levels of detected regulated contaminants
• B. A statement that the presence of contaminants does not necessarily pose a health risk
• C. The annual capital expenditures for the water system
• D. Notice if the system is operating under a variance or exemption, and why

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is what information a Consumer Confidence Report must include to communicate drinking water quality to customers. The report must show the levels of detected regulated contaminants so people know what is in the water and how that compares to regulatory limits. It also includes a statement that the mere detection of contaminants does not necessarily pose a health risk, which helps readers understand the potential health implications without alarm. Additionally, the report must note if the system is operating under a variance or exemption and explain why, ensuring transparency about any deviations from standard requirements.

What isn’t required is sharing the annual capital expenditures for the water system. Financial details like capital spending are outside the scope of the water-quality information that the CCR is intended to convey.
