Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Idaho has 765 active community water systems, 39% 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 Spring Creek Terraces?
EPA lists Spring Creek Terraces 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. 40 of the 49 active systems in Cassia County (82%) are also privately owned.
Does Spring Creek Terraces have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2023. The violations listed here began between May 1997 and December 2023. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 3 required treatment not met, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Groundwater Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved, 3 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. 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.
