Idaho has 954 active transient non-community water systems, 49% 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 Ponds Lodge?

Does Ponds Lodge have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2023. The violations listed here began between June 2010 and January 2023. By type: 7 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (5 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved, 5 as unaddressed and 2 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
