Can I distribute my public notices for a monitoring or maximum contaminant level (MCL) violations with my yearly Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR)?: Yes, if all required elements of the public notification are included in either the text of the CCR or an attached separate notice page and a printed copy of the CCR and public notification are made available to all users of the water supply whether or not they have access to a computer. Please note that CCR notices may only be a secondary method for publicizing MCL violations that occurred in the previous calendar year.
