ATHENS WATER SYSTEM COOP is one of 4,188 community water systems in Texas in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 162 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 13 entries between 2008 and 2018, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2018.
All 13 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 volatile organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
