RIDGE UTILITIES is one of 4,188 community water systems in Texas in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 378 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 13 entries between 2005 and 2013, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2013.
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 inorganic chemicals, the Lead and Copper Rule, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
