CARTHAGE PWS is one of 78 community water systems in Missouri in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 14,600 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 2 entries between 1992 and 2012, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2012.
All 2 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.
