System type: Community Water System
Population served: 100
Service connections: 47
Ownership: privately owned
Water source: groundwater (wells)

FORT SMITH WATER AND SEWER DIST is one of 1,084 community water systems in Montana in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 100 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2012; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 58 entries between 1992 and 2012, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2012.

Of the 58, 52 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 synthetic organic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.
