How does Echo Peak Water Association compare with other water systems in El Dorado County?
By EPA's size categories, Echo Peak Water Association is a very small system (500 people or fewer). El Dorado County has 124 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 2,351 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 291,553 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Echo Peak Water Association is about half of that figure.

Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 6,179 California systems (83%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Echo Peak Water Association?

Does Echo Peak Water Association have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2020. The violations listed here began between May 1983 and August 2020. By type: 6 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 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.
