VEGA ALTA URBANO is among the 21 largest community water systems in Puerto Rico, formerly serving 34,559 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1997; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 19 entries between 1991 and 1998, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1998.

Of the 19, 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 volatile organic chemicals, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
