How does Montrose Pws compare with other water systems in Henry County?
By EPA's size categories, Montrose Pws is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Henry County has 13 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,797 people per system, and accounts for 1.6% of the 23,361 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Missouri, the 2,943 active systems average 2,049 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Montrose Pws 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. Missouri has 1,612 active community water systems, 55% of the state's 2,943 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 179 Missouri systems (6.1%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Montrose Pws?
EPA lists Montrose Pws as owned by a local government. The MO state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 10 of the 13 active systems in Henry County (77%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Montrose Pws have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2004 and July 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (9 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived, 4 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
