How does Norfork Marina compare with other water systems in Baxter County?
By EPA's size categories, Norfork Marina is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Baxter County has 50 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 778 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 38,879 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Norfork Marina is well below that figure.

Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 461 Arkansas systems (54%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Norfork Marina?

Does Norfork Marina have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2023 and September 2025. By type: 7 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 5 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (7 of them). EPA lists 7 as addressed, 3 as resolved and 2 as archived. Addressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is covered by formal enforcement. 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. 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.
