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 Sunny Acres have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in November 2024. The violations listed here began between April 2004 and November 2024. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Chlorine (4 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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. 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.
