How does Enchanted Palms compare with other water systems in Imperial County?

By EPA's size categories, Enchanted Palms is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Imperial County has 76 active public water systems.

California has 3,016 active transient non-community water systems, 40% of the state's 7,479 active systems.

Who owns and regulates Enchanted Palms?

Does Enchanted Palms have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2019. The violations listed here began between October 1980 and April 2019. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate-Nitrite (3 of them). EPA lists 8 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.
