MORNING STAR PUBLIC WATER AUTHORITY

MORNING STAR PUBLIC WATER AUTHORITY (PWSID AR0000681) is a cws water system drawing from a surface water source, regulated by the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act. It serves approximately 1,543 people in Marshall, AR, and is subject to primacy enforcement by the Arkansas drinking-water program.

The system's federal compliance record contains 71 total violations, with 71 classified as health-based (MCL exceedances or treatment-technique failures). 3 distinct contaminants have been cited, including Manganese, Chlorine, Total Coliform (RTCR). Recorded violations span 2000–2021.

A historical violation does not necessarily describe current water quality, systems must notify customers and remediate, and monitoring-type violations often reflect reporting lapses rather than contamination. The most authoritative real-time source is the utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report.
