Report Context
Context attributed to the source report
These summaries are limited to the named annual report and do not assert live system, compliance, or advisory status.
Report identity
The cover identifies Anaconda Water Department, PWSID MT0000016, and the January 1 through December 31, 2025 reporting period.
Source-water context
The report classifies the system as ground water and lists six wells. This source context does not establish a provider for a particular address.
Reviewed non-result material
Pages 1 through 3 include contact, health, source-water, and definition material; page 5 contains only the continuation of the official UCMR data-finder link. These sections add no further local result rows.

Source-period disclosures kept separate from live status
These items preserve report wording and scope. They do not create violation records, advisory records, or a current-status conclusion.
Annual report is not a live status page
The result rows describe collection years printed in the 2025 annual report. They do not establish current compliance, current advisories, conditions at an address, household-tap results, or water safety.
Current status is not asserted. Check official current sources for notices or instructions.
Unregulated monitoring remains narrative context
The report states that unregulated contaminants were sampled in 2024 with all analytes under detection limits, but prints no analyte rows. The narrative is not converted into structured results or a current-status conclusion.
Current status is not asserted. Check official current sources for notices or instructions.
