How does Moro Waterworks compare with other water systems in Lee County?
By EPA's size categories, Moro Waterworks is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lee County has 5 active public water systems, and Moro Waterworks is the 4th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,780 people per system, and accounts for 2.5% of the 8,902 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Arkansas, the 853 active systems average 3,592 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Moro Waterworks is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Arkansas has 660 active community water systems, 77% of the state's 853 active systems. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 69 Arkansas systems (8.1%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Moro Waterworks?

The AR state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 3 of the 5 active systems in Lee County (60%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Moro Waterworks have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 11 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2024. The violations listed here began between October 2020 and April 2024. By type: 11 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (11 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived and 5 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed.
