By EPA's size categories, Harpster Rv Park is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Idaho County has 54 active public water systems.

Idaho has 954 active transient non-community water systems, 49% 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 Harpster Rv Park?
EPA lists Harpster Rv Park 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. 27 of the 54 active systems in Idaho County (50%) are also privately owned.
Does Harpster Rv Park have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2023. The violations listed here began between April 2012 and July 2023. By type: 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 required treatment not met, 3 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved, 4 as archived and 3 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
