BEAR CREEK W/A -EAST is one of 56 community water systems in Mississippi in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 18,770 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 25 entries between 1981 and 2008, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2008.

The record involves the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule, the Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Miscellaneous Other Rules.
