PICKENS WATERWORKS is one of 363 community water systems in Arkansas in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 49 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 152 entries between 1990 and 2026, of which 25 health-based items remain open, alongside 38 other open entries.

Of the 152, 58 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
