How does La Haciendita compare with other water systems in Newton County?
By EPA's size categories, La Haciendita is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Newton County has 38 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 330 people per system, and accounts for 0.2% of the 12,530 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Indiana has 2,596 active transient non-community water systems, 65% of the state's 3,969 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 3,769 Indiana systems (95%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates La Haciendita?
EPA lists La Haciendita as privately owned. The IN state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 23 of the 38 active systems in Newton County (61%) are also privately owned.
Does La Haciendita have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between February 2023 and March 2026. By type: 7 monitoring, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 required treatment not met, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (9 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved, 3 as archived and 2 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
