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.

DECATUR WATERWORKS is one of 376 community water systems in Arkansas in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,468 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 1990 and 2011, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2011.

Of the 12, 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 the Total Coliform Rules, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
