Here is what the EPA's own data shows about tap water in Malta. According to EPA SDWIS data retrieved July 2026, Malta is served by 2 active community water systems, together reported to serve about 9,050 people.
As of July 2026, EPA records show 15 violations across the community water system(s) serving Malta, going back to the earliest EPA record. 2 of these are classified by the EPA as health-based (a contaminant recorded above the limit the EPA tracks); the rest are monitoring or reporting violations. Each is listed by system below, with its status.
Health-based Iron: a health-based violation (a contaminant recorded above the limit the EPA tracks), recorded 2 times in January 2017. The EPA record lists a level of 0.364 MG/L; the limit (MCL) is 0.3 MG/L. All have since returned to compliance, per EPA records.
Monitoring Consumer Confidence Rule: a monitoring or reporting violation (a required test or report was late or missed — not a measured exceedance), recorded 4 times between July 2002 and September 2020. EPA records do not show all of these as returned to compliance.

As of July 2026, EPA records show no reported violations for this system in the period covered. This is not a guarantee about every substance, or about the water inside your home's plumbing.
What this means
A health-based violation means a contaminant was recorded above the limit the EPA tracks for it. A monitoring or reporting violation means a required test or report was late or missed — not that a contaminant was measured above a limit. “Returned to compliance” means the EPA recorded the issue as resolved.
