How does Star Saloon compare with other water systems in Ada County?
By EPA's size categories, Star Saloon is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Ada County has 87 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 5,880 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 511,514 people reported by systems filed under the county.

What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. 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.
Who owns and regulates Star Saloon?
EPA lists Star Saloon 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 Star Saloon have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in November 2010. The violations listed here began between October 1992 and November 2010. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 7 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.
