Eglin Air Force Base in Eglin, Florida wins 2004 Consumer Confidence
Report Excellence Award

U.S. EPA REGION 4
PRESS ADVISORY
FEBRUARY 15, 2005

On Friday, February 18, 2005, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
will award the Eglin Air Force Base in Eglin, Florida with the 2004
Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) Excellence Award in the Medium Ground
Water System category.

The criteria for the award includes: demonstration of their commitment
to compliance with Consumer Confidence Reporting; the system's
susceptibility to contamination based on a completed Source Water
Assessment (SWA) and information on how to obtain a copy of the SWA; and
a list of likely sources and potential health effects of detected
contaminants. Extra points are given for community outreach and
education activities.  

The CCR rule requires community water systems to provide annual reports
to customers on the quality of their drinking water. Reports under the
CCR rule will give consumers information on their drinking water and
opportunities to get involved in its protection. The CCR Rule is a
result of the 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act.
