BUCARABONES-MARICAO is one of 231 community water systems in Puerto Rico in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, formerly serving 568 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 21 entries between 1983 and 2005, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2005.

Of the 21, 17 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 and inorganic chemicals.
