MENA WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 118 community water systems in Arkansas in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 5,604 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 13 entries between 2009 and 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.

Of the 13, 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 Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
