Lynndyl told its water system has a 75-point state deficiency score and missed a deadline for its annual water-quality report

October 14, 2026, 7:00 p.m.

At its Oct. 14 meeting the Lynndyl Town Council heard from a Rural Water representative that the state Division of Drinking Water rates the town's system at 75 points. The town lacks written records of cross-connection control activities and needs a certified drinking-water representative, and it missed the July 1 deadline for its annual Consumer Confidence Report, though the report has since been submitted. The council also learned the town could apply for a $20,000 grant for cybersecurity under House Bill 19.
