GARDEN is one of 1,316 community water systems in Michigan in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 270 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 4 entries between 2013 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.
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 the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?
