Commonwealth Utilities Corp (Rota) is among the 7 largest community water systems in Northern Mariana Islands, serving 2,504 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 19 entries between 2001 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

Of the 19, 14 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 Lead and Copper Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Groundwater Rule.
