WARD WATERWORKS is one of 53 community water systems in Arkansas in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 12,579 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 2019 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

The record involves the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule and the Consumer Confidence Rule.

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. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
