GAUL'S WATER COMMISSION Water System

Inactive system

GAUL'S WATER COMMISSION is one of 1,221 community water systems in Iowa in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 25 people from surface water.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1994; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 32 entries between 1980 and 1992, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1992.

Of the 32, 24 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 Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule, inorganic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.
