How does Acequia School compare with other water systems in Minidoka County?

By EPA's size categories, Acequia School is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Minidoka County has 27 active public water systems. Its population served is about half of the county average of 557 people per system, and accounts for 2% of the 15,030 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Idaho, the 1,961 active systems average 899 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Acequia School is about 30% below that figure.

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

A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Idaho has 242 active non-transient non-community water systems, 12% of the state's 1,961 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,861 Idaho systems (95%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates Acequia School?

EPA lists Acequia School as owned by a local government. The ID state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 7 of the 27 active systems in Minidoka County (26%) are also owned by a local government.

Does Acequia School have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2016. The violations listed here began between July 2010 and July 2016. By type: 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 monitoring and reporting and 3 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (4 of them). EPA lists 4 as unaddressed, 3 as resolved and 3 as archived. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
