Nebraska has 489 active transient non-community water systems, 40% of the state's 1,226 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 27 Nebraska systems (2.2%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.

Does Hideaway Acres have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between October 2002 and July 2025. By type: 7 monitoring and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 8 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.
