CARNES WATER ASSOCIATION is one of 794 community water systems in Mississippi in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,160 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 23 entries between 2008 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.
All 23 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 Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.

EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
