How does Monastery of St Gertrudes compare with other water systems in Idaho County?
By EPA's size categories, Monastery of St Gertrudes is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Idaho County has 54 active public water systems. Its population served is roughly in line with the county average of 185 people per system, and accounts for 2% of the 9,970 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Monastery of St Gertrudes 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 Monastery of St Gertrudes?

Does Monastery of St Gertrudes have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2021. The violations listed here began between September 1996 and December 2021. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (10 of them). 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.
