BIG EDDY is one of 1,859 community water systems in Texas in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,709 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 6 entries between 2008 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 6, 4 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 the Lead and Copper Rule, inorganic chemicals, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
