CHRISNEY WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 338 community water systems in Indiana in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 823 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 8 entries in 1979, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1979.
All 8 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.
