System facts

System ID (PWSID): MT0000301
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 111
Service connections: 69
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

OPHEIM TOWN OF is one of 1,084 community water systems in Montana in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 111 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 42 entries between 1995 and 2021, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2021.
