How does Rivers Bend Campground compare with other water systems in Dallas County?
By EPA's size categories, Rivers Bend Campground is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Dallas County has 17 active public water systems, and Rivers Bend Campground is the 4th-largest of them by population served.

Does Rivers Bend Campground have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2026. The violations listed here began between September 2015 and February 2026. By type: 7 monitoring, 3 monitoring and reporting and 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 5 as archived, 5 as resolved and 2 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.
