MITCHELL WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 128 community water systems in Indiana in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 5,000 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 1979 and 1980, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1980.

All 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 inorganic chemicals and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
