BROWNS WATER SYSTEM is one of 760 community water systems in West Virginia in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 30 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1999; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 15 entries between 1996 and 1999, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1999.

All 15 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, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
