Ogema is one of 739 community water systems in Minnesota in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 204 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 2 entries between 2013 and 2016, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2016.

The record involves the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
