RUIDOSO WATER SYSTEM is among the 20 largest community water systems in New Mexico, serving 15,947 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 32 entries between 2005 and 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.

Of the 32, 25 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 synthetic organic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.

It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
