AUSTIN WATERWORKS is one of 118 community water systems in Arkansas in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 3,600 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 11 entries between 2006 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 11, 4 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 Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
