TAOS MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM is one of 37 community water systems in New Mexico in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 5,528 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 18 entries between 2007 and 2016, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2016.
Of the 18, 17 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, inorganic chemicals, and synthetic organic chemicals.
