How does Nye County Complex compare with other water systems in Nye County?
By EPA's size categories, Nye County Complex is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Nye County has 89 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 379 people per system, and accounts for 0.3% of the 33,742 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Nevada, the 643 active systems average 5,508 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Nye County Complex is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Nevada has 161 active non-transient non-community water systems, 25% 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.
Who owns and regulates Nye County Complex?
EPA lists Nye County Complex as owned by a local government. The NV state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 13 of the 89 active systems in Nye County (15%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Nye County Complex have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between October 1991 and October 2024. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 1 required treatment not met, 1 reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 2 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.
