SOUTH LINCOLN RURAL WATER SYSTEM is one of 30 community water systems in South Dakota in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 5,250 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 2014 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.
All 5 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 and the Total Coliform Rules.
