Does Portneuf Bend Campground have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between April 2021 and March 2026. By type: 4 monitoring, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed 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.
