CHARITON MUNICIPAL WATER WORKS is one of 91 community water systems in Iowa in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 4,381 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 46 entries between 1993 and 2017, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2017.

Of the 46, 11 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules, volatile organic chemicals, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
