EL RITO CANYON MDWCA Water System
Consumer Confidence Report status
EL RITO CANYON MDWCA must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.
As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show no open violations for EL RITO CANYON MDWCA.
Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace New Mexico’s official records. Always confirm current status with New Mexico before making decisions based on this information.

EL RITO CANYON MDWCA is one of 667 community water systems in New Mexico in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 300 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 74 entries between 1992 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.
Of the 74, 51 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 Total Coliform Rules, the Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.

Common questions
Is EL RITO CANYON MDWCA required to publish a Consumer Confidence Report?
- Yes. EL RITO CANYON MDWCA is a community water system, and federal rules (40 CFR 141 Subpart O) require every community water system to publish a Consumer Confidence Report each year.
When is EL RITO CANYON MDWCA’s next Consumer Confidence Report due?
- EL RITO CANYON MDWCA’s next Consumer Confidence Report is due by July 1, 2027. The report covers calendar year 2026.
Does EL RITO CANYON MDWCA have any open drinking water violations on record?
- As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show no open violations for EL RITO CANYON MDWCA.
What is a Consumer Confidence Report?
- A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. 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.
