BLUNT is one of 583 community water systems in South Dakota in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 350 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 1976 and 1999, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1999.
Of the 5, 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, volatile organic chemicals, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?

EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
