BIG WILLS WATER & FIRE PRO AUTHORITY is one of 287 community water systems in Alabama in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,301 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 30 entries between 2003 and 2021, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2021.
All 30 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, synthetic organic chemicals, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
