CIMARRON WATER SYSTEM

CIMARRON WATER SYSTEM (PWSID NM3526204) 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 1,260 people in Cimarron, NM, and is subject to primacy enforcement by the New Mexico drinking-water program.

The system's federal compliance record contains 148 total violations, with 148 classified as health-based (MCL exceedances or treatment-technique failures). 6 distinct contaminants have been cited, including Chloroform, Turbidity, Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM). Recorded violations span 2010–2023.

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.
