JEFFERSON PUBLIC WATER AUTHORITY is one of 376 community water systems in Arkansas in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,551 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 9 entries between 1998 and 2017, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2017.
Of the 9, 1 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 Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Groundwater Rule.
