How does City of Malad compare with other water systems in Oneida County?
By EPA's size categories, City of Malad is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Oneida County has 10 active public water systems, and City of Malad is the largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 7.4 times the county average of 298 people per system, and accounts for 74% of the 2,980 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 Malad 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 Malad?

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. 2 of the 10 active systems in Oneida County (20%) are also owned by a local government.
Does City of Malad have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2021. The violations listed here began between February 1996 and March 2021. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (9 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 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.
