How does Mountain Village compare with other water systems in Jackson County?
By EPA's size categories, Mountain Village is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Jackson County has 2 active public water systems, and Mountain Village is the largest of them by population served. Its population served is roughly in line with the county average of 60 people per system, and accounts for 50% of the 120 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 Mountain Village 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 Mountain Village?
EPA lists Mountain Village as privately owned. The OR 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 2 active systems in Jackson County (100%) are also privately owned.
Does Mountain Village have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2024. The violations listed here began between July 2004 and August 2024. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 as archived. 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.
