SANDIA KNOLLS WATER SYSTEM is one of 140 community water systems in New Mexico in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,098 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1992 and 2008, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2008.
Of the 10, 6 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, inorganic chemicals, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
