NORTH VERNON WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 128 community water systems in Indiana in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 6,500 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1979 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

Of the 10, 7 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 synthetic organic chemicals, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and inorganic chemicals.

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.
