How does Wayside Estates compare with other water systems in Minidoka County?
By EPA's size categories, Wayside Estates is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Minidoka County has 27 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 557 people per system, and accounts for 0.3% of the 15,030 people reported by systems filed under the county.

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. 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 Wayside Estates?
EPA lists Wayside Estates 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. 19 of the 27 active systems in Minidoka County (70%) are also privately owned.
Does Wayside Estates have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2025. The violations listed here began between December 2016 and September 2025. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (5 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 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.
