NEWPORT-CITY OF is among the 8 largest community water systems in Rhode Island, serving 42,155 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1990 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 10, 6 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.

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.
