MADISON COUNTY WATER DEPARTMENT is among the 6 largest community water systems in Alabama, serving 119,100 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 20 entries in 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.

All 20 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.
