How does Bayou Resort compare with other water systems in Baxter County?

By EPA's size categories, Bayou Resort is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Baxter County has 50 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 778 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 38,879 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Arkansas, the 853 active systems average 3,592 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Bayou Resort is well below that figure.

What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Arkansas has 164 active transient non-community water systems, 19% of the state's 853 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 461 Arkansas systems (54%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates Bayou Resort?

Does Bayou Resort have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in June 2019. The violations listed here began between April 1995 and June 2019. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (10 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 2 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. 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.
