NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY is among the 13 largest community water systems in New Mexico, serving 24,000 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 23 entries between 2002 and 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.
Of the 23, 18 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, synthetic organic chemicals, and inorganic chemicals.
