Community Water Systems are required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to prepare annual "consumer confidence reports" on the source of their drinking water and the levels of contaminants found, in the drinking water. Consumers must be notified by mail. The report must include:
1. Information on the source of drinking water
2. Brief definitions of terms
3. The MCLG, MCL and the level found
4. Information on health effects
5. Information on the levels of unregulated contaminants.
