DOG CANYON MDWCA is one of 667 community water systems in New Mexico in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 11 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2016; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 37 entries between 1994 and 2016, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2016.

Of the 37, 24 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.
