How does Hideout LLC compare with other water systems in Mineral County?
By EPA's size categories, Hideout LLC is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Mineral County has 37 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 454 people per system, and accounts for 0.5% of the 16,812 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Montana, the 2,378 active systems average 489 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Hideout LLC is about half of that figure.

Montana has 1,206 active transient non-community water systems, 51% of the state's 2,378 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,994 Montana systems (84%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Does Hideout LLC have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in December 2025. The violations listed here began between December 2015 and December 2025. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 5 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved 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. 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.
