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. Mississippi has 947 active community water systems, 84% of the state's 1,133 active systems. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 66 Mississippi systems (5.8%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Otuckolofa Water Association?

Does Otuckolofa Water Association 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 2007 and September 2025. By type: 6 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 4 monitoring and reporting and 2 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved 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. 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.
