DANCING BEAR is one of 4,188 community water systems in Texas in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 444 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 29 entries between 2005 and 2010, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2010.

Of the 29, 28 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 Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.

It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
