How does Amalgamated Sugar Paul compare with other water systems in Minidoka County?
By EPA's size categories, Amalgamated Sugar Paul is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Minidoka County has 27 active public water systems. Its population served is about 64% below the county average of 557 people per system, and accounts for 1.3% 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 Amalgamated Sugar Paul is about half of 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 Amalgamated Sugar Paul?
EPA lists Amalgamated Sugar Paul as privately owned. 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. 19 of the 27 active systems in Minidoka County (70%) are also privately owned.
Does Amalgamated Sugar Paul have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2022. The violations listed here began between January 2009 and July 2022. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Chlorine (4 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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.
