CAVE CITY WATER SYSTEM formerly served 0 people from surface water.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2017; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 15 entries between 1997 and 2019, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2019.

Of the 15, 11 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
