OWENS CROSSROADS WATER AUTHORITY is one of 131 community water systems in Alabama in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 13,569 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 2006 and 2010, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2010.
