PRAIRIE ACRES is one of 357 community water systems in North Dakota in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 100 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2016; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 21 entries between 1994 and 2010, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2010.

Of the 21, 11 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 volatile organic chemicals, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
