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.

Does Roaring River State Park have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2023. The violations listed here began between April 1995 and April 2023. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved and 1 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.
