Annual Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Report Available Annual Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR), also known as a drinking water quality report, summarizes information regarding water sources used, any detected contaminants, compliance, and educational information. Whether the drinking water is supplied by host nation water systems like on Support Site or produced by a Navy installation reverse osmosis treatment plant like on Capodichino, the Navy ensures the water that ends up at your faucet is safe to drink, according to U.S., European and Italian standards. The CCR provides all testing results from January 1 through December 31 and includes information on how they compare to the standards set by regulatory agencies. The CCR allows service members, their families and our civilians to know what is in the water they’re drinking, just as local water utilities in the U.S. provide annual Consumer Confidence Reports to their customers.

Region’s “Energy Biggest Loser” Competition for July Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia is conducting an "Energy Biggest Loser" Competition again this year for the month of July. The base with the highest percentage of energy reduction will receive $70K, second $50K, and third $30K. The competition is an attempt to raise awareness of energy use, promote energy saving behaviors and change our energy use culture. Energy bills are the single largest expense for Navy installations, reflecting about 28 percent of the Navy's shore budget. NSA Naples intends on using prize money to make improvements at Carney Park for the benefit of our community, so please partake and doing your part at the office and at home. Here are some tips that will help us win: ensure all equipment is turned off when not in use, shutdown computer monitors after each workday, ensure lights are off when spaces are unoccupied, ensure office windows are shut (minimize A/C load), open windows at home, in lieu of using A/C, and use natural lighting whenever possible.
