CITY OF WEST COLUMBIA is one of 817 community water systems in Texas in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 3,650 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 7 entries between 2009 and 2019, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2019.

All 7 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
