How does New Hope Subd compare with other water systems in Clearwater County?
By EPA's size categories, New Hope Subd is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Clearwater County has 26 active public water systems. Its population served is about 63% below the county average of 268 people per system, and accounts for 1.4% of the 6,972 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 New Hope Subd 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. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 15 Idaho systems (0.8%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates New Hope Subd?
EPA lists New Hope Subd 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. 4 of the 26 active systems in Clearwater County (15%) are also privately owned.
Does New Hope Subd have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 9 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2016 and January 2026. By type: 5 contaminant level above the legal limit, 4 required treatment not met, 2 monitoring and reporting and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Haloacetic acids (HAA5) (6 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.
