How does Nightforce Optics compare with other water systems in Clearwater County?
By EPA's size categories, Nightforce Optics is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Clearwater County has 26 active public water systems. Its population served is about 59% below the county average of 268 people per system, and accounts for 1.6% 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 non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Nightforce Optics is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Idaho has 242 active non-transient non-community water systems, 12% 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 Nightforce Optics?
EPA lists Nightforce Optics 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 Nightforce Optics have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2021. The violations listed here began between October 2012 and October 2021. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting and 3 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 4 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.
