COLBERT COUNTY RURAL WATER SYSTEM is one of 131 community water systems in Alabama in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 13,395 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 23 entries between 1995 and 2021, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2021.
All 23 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves volatile organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
