CRESTON WATER SUPPLY is one of 91 community water systems in Iowa in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 7,536 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 7 entries between 2000 and 2017, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2017.
Of the 7, 4 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and synthetic organic chemicals.
