JOBALES is one of 71 community water systems in Puerto Rico in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, formerly serving 4,096 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2007; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 1980 and 2006, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2006.

Of the 12, 4 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
