RUIDOSO DOWNS WATER SYSTEM is one of 140 community water systems in New Mexico in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,146 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 26 entries between 1994 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 26, 22 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
