LA JOSEFA Water System

Inactive system

If you are a resident looking for your current water provider, see water systems in Anasco Municipio County, PR.

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 Puerto Rico’s official records. Always confirm current status with Puerto Rico before making decisions based on this information.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): PR0003463
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 1,588
Service connections: 395
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

LA JOSEFA is one of 231 community water systems in Puerto Rico in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, formerly serving 1,588 people from surface water.

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 59 entries between 1980 and 2007, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2007.

Of the 59, 46 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, volatile organic chemicals, and inorganic chemicals.
