WASHINGTON WATER AUTHORITY WWA is one of 53 community water systems in Arkansas in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 20,140 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 1995 and 2019, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2019.
None of the 12 are monitoring or reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset; these involve water-quality, treatment, or public-notice findings instead. The record involves the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
