COLUMBIA WATER WORKS is one of 287 community water systems in Alabama in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,179 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 37 entries between 2020 and 2022, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.

Of the 37, 36 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 synthetic organic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?

It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
