MOUNTAIN ORCHARD MDWCA is one of 667 community water systems in New Mexico in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 105 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 15 entries between 2011 and 2019, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2019.

Of the 15, 8 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 Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
