WARD PRAIRIE WSC is one of 4,188 community water systems in Texas in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 462 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 13 entries between 2004 and 2013, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2013.

The record involves the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
