WEST PLAINS PWS is one of 78 community water systems in Missouri in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 12,864 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 7 entries between 2001 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.
Of the 7, 1 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.
