FISHER WATER SERVICE is one of 123 community water systems in Montana in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 750 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 14 entries between 2001 and 2024, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 14, 9 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 Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
