RAMAH WATER & SANITATION DISTRICT is one of 140 community water systems in New Mexico in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 517 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 1983 and 2018, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2018.
Of the 12, 4 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, the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Groundwater Rule.
