CANTEEN WATER SERVICE is one of 1,084 community water systems in Montana in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 25 people from surface water.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2004; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 15 entries between 1999 and 2003, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2003.

All 15 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 and the Lead and Copper Rule.
