System type: Community Water System
Population served: 2,926
Service connections: 904
Ownership: local government
Water source: groundwater (wells)

POPLAR CITY OF is one of 123 community water systems in Montana in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, formerly serving 2,926 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 46 entries between 1994 and 2012, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2012.

Of the 46, 43 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 Lead and Copper Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and inorganic chemicals.
