How does Desert Southwest Conference compare with other water systems in Clark County?
By EPA's size categories, Desert Southwest Conference is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Clark County has 141 active public water systems.

Nevada has 258 active transient non-community water systems, 40% of the state's 643 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 557 Nevada systems (87%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Does Desert Southwest Conference have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2025. The violations listed here began between June 1984 and April 2025. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 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. 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.
