What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. 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. Surface water means the system draws its water from rivers, lakes, streams or reservoirs. 66 Idaho systems (3.4%) list surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Syringa Water and Sewer?
EPA lists Syringa Water and Sewer 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. 123 of the 182 active systems in Kootenai County (68%) are also privately owned.
Does Syringa Water and Sewer have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2009 and October 2025. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (3 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived, 2 as unaddressed 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. 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.
