ATKINS MUNICIPAL WATER WORKS is one of 403 community water systems in Iowa in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,056 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 16 entries between 1982 and 2021, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2021.

The record involves inorganic chemicals, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
