BOZEMAN CITY OF is the fifth largest community water system in Montana, serving 56,000 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 7 entries between 1993 and 2013, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2013.
Of the 7, 6 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, inorganic chemicals, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
