How does Sun Valley Utilities compare with other water systems in Navajo County?
By EPA's size categories, Sun Valley Utilities is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Navajo County has 63 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,566 people per system, and accounts for 0.3% of the 98,636 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Arizona, the 1,769 active systems average 4,369 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Sun Valley Utilities is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Arizona has 936 active community water systems, 53% of the state's 1,769 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,612 Arizona systems (91%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Sun Valley Utilities?
EPA lists Sun Valley Utilities as privately owned. The AZ state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 39 of the 63 active systems in Navajo County (62%) are also privately owned.
Does Sun Valley Utilities have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2023 and January 2026. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (3 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed and 1 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
