HICKORY MEADOWS 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 1991; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1980 and 1991, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1991.

All 10 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 Total Coliform Rules, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
