ROWENA WSC (PWSID TX2000004) 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 528 people in Rowena, TX, and is subject to primacy enforcement by the Texas drinking-water program.

The system's federal compliance record contains 215 total violations, with 215 classified as health-based (MCL exceedances or treatment-technique failures). 3 distinct contaminants have been cited, including Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM), Haloacetic Acids (HAA5), Combined Radium 226/228. Recorded violations span 2003–2025.

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. For enforcement history and corrective-action orders, consult EPA ECHO and the Texas state drinking-water program's public portal.
