How does City of Georgetown compare with other water systems in Bear Lake County?
By EPA's size categories, City of Georgetown is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Bear Lake County has 24 active public water systems, and City of Georgetown is the 3rd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 66% above the county average of 287 people per system, and accounts for 6.9% of the 6,878 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Idaho, the 1,961 active systems average 899 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so City of Georgetown is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Idaho has 765 active community water systems, 39% 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 City of Georgetown?
EPA lists City of Georgetown 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. 6 of the 24 active systems in Bear Lake County (25%) are also owned by a local government.
Does City of Georgetown have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2019. The violations listed here began between February 1998 and January 2019. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 as resolved. 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. 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.
