By EPA's size categories, City of Bogue is a very small system (500 people or fewer).

Its population served is about 64% below the county average of 425 people per system, and accounts for 8.9% of the 1,700 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Kansas, the 1,041 active systems average 2,800 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so City of Bogue 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. Kansas has 863 active community water systems, 83% of the state's 1,041 active systems. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 90 Kansas systems (8.6%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates City of Bogue?
EPA lists City of Bogue as owned by a local government. The KS 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 4 active systems in Graham County (75%) are also owned by a local government.
Does City of Bogue have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2026. The violations listed here began between July 2013 and February 2026. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 4 as unaddressed and 2 as archived. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
