For example, before you send this, the second part of the report*, to your customers, you should delete any text in italics, such as the text in this sentence, because all of the text in italics is instructions directed at you, not your customers.
*The first part of the report is “Consumer Confidence Report: General Information Required in All Consumer Confidence Reports.”
Year this report covers: Insert year this report covers here.

Source Water Assessment Protection
You can access your assessment report on Drinking Water Watch (http://dww.tceq.state.tx.us/DWW/) by querying for your system and then, under Water System Detail, in the upper left-hand corner, clicking on “Source Water Assessment Results.” Depending on what the assessment report says, include one of the following four paragraphs in your Consumer Confidence Report. Delete the other three.
1. If your assessment report has at least one contaminant listed as highly susceptible, use this text:The TCEQ completed an assessment of your source water and results indicate that some of our sources are susceptible to certain contaminants. The sampling requirements for your water system are based on this susceptibility and previous sample data. Any detections of these contaminants may be found in this Consumer Confidence Report. For more information on source water assessments and protection efforts at our system, contact Insert name of person to contact.
2. If your assessment report has no contaminants listed as highly susceptible, use this text:The TCEQ completed an assessment of your source water and results indicate that our sources have a low susceptibility to contaminants. The sampling requirements for your water system are based on this susceptibility and previous sample data. Any detections of these contaminants will be found in this Consumer Confidence Report. For more information on source water assessments and protection efforts at our system contact Insert name of person to contact.
3. If there are no source water assessment results available for your system on Drinking Water Watch, use this text:A Source Water Assessment for your drinking water source(s) is currently being conducted by the TCEQ and should be provided to us this year. The report will describe the susceptibility and types of constituents that may come into contact with your drinking water source based on human activities and natural conditions. The information in this assessment will allow us to focus our source water protection strategies.
4. If you purchase 100% of your water, use this text:

Consumer Confidence Report Information Specific to Your Community Public Water System
The TCEQ has completed a Source Water Assessment for all drinking water systems that own their sources. This report describes the susceptibility and types of constituents that may come into contact with the drinking water source based on human activities and natural conditions. The system(s) from which we purchase our water received the assessment report. For more information on source water assessments and protection efforts at our system, contact Insert name of person to contact.
Variance(s) or Exemption(s)
If your water system is operating under a variance or exemption from the Safe Drinking Water Act granted under Section 290.102(b)(4) of Title 30 of the Texas Administrative Code you must include the following. If you are not operating under such a variance or exception, you can delete this section (the Variance(s) or Exemption(s) section):
Explanation of the variance or exemptionInsert explanation here.
Date the variance or exemption was issued expiresInsert the date here.
Date the variance or exemption was issued expiresInsert the date here.
Brief Status on the Steps the System is Taking to Comply with the Terms and Schedules of the Variance or ExemptionInsert a brief status report on the steps you are taking (such as installing treatment processes or finding alternative sources of water) to comply with the terms and schedules of the variance or exemption.
Notice of Any Opportunity for Public Input on the Review or Renewal of the Variance or ExemptionInsert a notice of any opportunity for public input on the review or renewal of the variance or exemption.
Definitions

Consumer Confidence Report Information Specific to Your Community Public Water System
If your report contains any data on a contaminant for which the US EPA has set a treatment technique or an action level (see following list), you must include the following two definitions in the report.
Fecal indicators (enterococci or coliphage)Total organic carbonTurbidityCopperLeadAcrylamideEpichlorohydrin
If your report does not contain any data on any of these contaminants, then you can delete this section (the Definitions section in this document)
Treatment technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
Action level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.
Information on Detected Contaminants
If a contaminant was detected in your water in the year the report covers, you are required to include that contaminant and its corresponding information in a table. Also, if you are on a reduced sampling schedule and the most recent detection of a contaminant was within the last five years*, you are required to include that contaminant and its corresponding information in a table.
If not, you may delete that contaminant and its row or table.
However, you may wish to leave in any contaminants that were not detected, as this is a chance to show your customers how clean your water is.

*If you are on a reduced sampling schedule and the most recent detection of a contaminant was within five years from December 31 of the year the report covers (for example, for reports covering 2011, contaminants detected in as far back as 2007), you are required to include the following statement:
The data presented in the report is from the most recent testing done in accordance with the regulations.
If you distribute water to your customers from multiple hydraulically independent distribution systems that are fed by different raw water sources, you are required to either:

Consumer Confidence Report Information Specific to Your Community Public Water System
If your system detected arsenic levels above 5 micrograms per liter but below the maximum contaminant level (MCL), include the following language. Otherwise, you may delete this language.
While your drinking water meets EPA's standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. EPA's standard balances the current understanding of arsenic's possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.
If your system detected nitrate at levels above 5 mg/L, but below the MCL, include the following language. Otherwise, you may delete this language.
Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant, you should ask advice from your health care provider.

Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at the homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home's plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home's water, you may wish to have your water tested and flush your tap for 30 seconds to two minutes before using tap water.
