Who regulates Community Water System and water quality?
Community Water System is regulated by the Arkansas Department of Health and guided by the National Safe Drinking Water Act. Suppliers of electricity, gas, and phone services are regulated by the Arkansas Public Service Commission. Since water is consumed, everything from it's source and treatment to the transmission and distribution is carefully regulated. Though the natural condition of our water is good, constant examination is required by the state and federal authorities to insure water quality. Each month, testing takes place by collecting water samples from a variety of system sites approved by the Arkansas Department of Health. These samples are then examined for quality and the results sent to the CWS offices where they are kept on file for a ten year period. In addition, the health department also conducts random tests during the course of the year. These results are also sent to CWS to be filed with monthly test results. All test information, as well as Community Water System's Source Water Assesment Program is available to the public at our offices in Greers Ferry, Arkansas.
