How does Sawtooth Lodge compare with other water systems in Boise County?
By EPA's size categories, Sawtooth Lodge is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Boise County has 55 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Sawtooth Lodge is about half of that figure.

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.

Does Sawtooth Lodge have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in June 2014. The violations listed here began between July 2001 and June 2014. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (9 of them). EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 as resolved. 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. 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.
