WEST OTTER LAKE ESTATES is one of 675 community water systems in Indiana in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 25 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2015; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 4 entries between 1980 and 2015, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2015.

Of the 4, 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 volatile organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
