CHURCH WOODS is one of 119 community water systems in Rhode Island in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 98 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 6 entries between 1994 and 2017, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2017.
Of the 6, 4 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, the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
