WHITTEN WATER SUPPLY is one of 1,221 community water systems in Iowa in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 160 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1998; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 1985 and 1989, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1989.

All 12 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 inorganic chemicals, the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
