PALO WATER SUPPLY is one of 403 community water systems in Iowa in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,407 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 2011 and 2015, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2015.

Of the 5, 3 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 Total Coliform Rules, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.

It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
