ALTURAS is one of 71 community water systems in Puerto Rico in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 6,325 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 40 entries between 2004 and 2011, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2011.

Of the 40, 38 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 synthetic organic chemicals, the Lead and Copper Rule, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.

Common questions

Is ALTURAS required to publish a Consumer Confidence Report?

Yes. ALTURAS 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 ALTURAS’s next Consumer Confidence Report due?

ALTURAS’s next Consumer Confidence Report is due by July 1, 2027. The report covers calendar year 2026.

Does ALTURAS have any open drinking water violations on record?

As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show no open violations for ALTURAS.

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.
