WASHINGTON WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 91 community water systems in Iowa in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 7,362 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 7 entries between 1979 and 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.
Of the 7, 2 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 Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
