TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES is one of 37 community water systems in New Mexico in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 6,783 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 2000 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 5, 3 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 Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, the Groundwater Rule, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
