HOT SPRINGS UTILITIES is among the 8 largest community water systems in Arkansas, serving 75,343 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 6 entries between 1994 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.
Of the 6, 2 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
