Ortonville is one of 330 community water systems in Minnesota in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,021 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 8 entries between 2012 and 2026, all of which EPA lists as closed.
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 the Total Coliform Rules, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
