Kyle Water System supplies Kyle: about 9% of residents live in its service area. About 91% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It buys treated surface water (EPA lists Mni Wiconi WTP / Coreline as seller) and serves 6,526 people in all.

No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people.
