BARRON LIGHT & WATER DEPT is one of 102 community water systems in Wisconsin in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 3,423 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 11 entries between 1994 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

All 11 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.
