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. Texas has 4,594 active community water systems, 65% of the state's 7,078 active systems. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 302 Texas systems (4.3%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Beechwood WSC?

The TX state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 8 of the 12 active systems in Sabine County (67%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Beechwood WSC have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2021 and April 2026. By type: 6 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring, 1 required treatment not met and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (3 of them). EPA lists 5 as unaddressed, 5 as resolved and 2 as archived. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
