CHESTER WATER SUPPLY is one of 1,221 community water systems in Iowa in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 139 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 20 entries between 1991 and 2019, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2019.

Of the 20, 17 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 synthetic organic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.
