How does Simplot Research Center compare with other water systems in Power County?
By EPA's size categories, Simplot Research Center is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Power County has 16 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 423 people per system, and accounts for 0.4% of the 6,760 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 Simplot Research Center 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 Simplot Research Center?
EPA lists Simplot Research Center 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. 11 of the 16 active systems in Power County (69%) are also privately owned.
Does Simplot Research Center have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2021 and March 2026. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 required treatment not met and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 7 as unaddressed, 4 as resolved and 1 as archived. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
