How does Small Wonders Daycare compare with other water systems in Ada County?
By EPA's size categories, Small Wonders Daycare is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Ada County has 87 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Small Wonders Daycare 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 Small Wonders Daycare?
EPA lists Small Wonders Daycare 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. 71 of the 87 active systems in Ada County (82%) are also privately owned.
Does Small Wonders Daycare have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 3 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2018. The violations listed here began between July 2011 and October 2018. By type: 1 required treatment not met, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 2 as archived and 1 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.
