How does Opal Foods LLC compare with other water systems in Newton County?
By EPA's size categories, Opal Foods LLC is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Newton County has 37 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 615 people per system, and accounts for 0.3% of the 22,743 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Missouri, the 2,943 active systems average 2,049 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Opal Foods LLC is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Missouri has 228 active non-transient non-community water systems, 7.7% of the state's 2,943 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,521 Missouri systems (86%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Opal Foods LLC?
EPA lists Opal Foods LLC as privately owned. 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. 27 of the 37 active systems in Newton County (73%) are also privately owned.
Does Opal Foods LLC have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in December 2025. The violations listed here began between September 2018 and December 2025. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 4 as resolved, 2 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.

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.
