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 under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 8 Idaho systems (0.4%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Hope Water System?
EPA lists Hope Water System 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. 24 of the 140 active systems in Bonner County (17%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Hope Water System have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2022. The violations listed here began between January 2020 and January 2022. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminants or rules involved are Nitrate, 1,2-Dichloroethane, Xylenes, Total and o-Dichlorobenzene. EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 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.
