PERRY COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY is one of 287 community water systems in Alabama in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,850 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 6 entries in 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.
All 6 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.
