How does Sierra Estates Gid compare with other water systems in Douglas County?
By EPA's size categories, Sierra Estates Gid is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Douglas County has 38 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,479 people per system, and accounts for 0.3% of the 56,213 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Nevada, the 643 active systems average 5,508 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Sierra Estates Gid is well below that figure.
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. Nevada has 224 active community water systems, 35% 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 Sierra Estates Gid?

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. 16 of the 38 active systems in Douglas County (42%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Sierra Estates Gid have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2015. The violations listed here began between September 1994 and July 2015. By type: 7 contaminant level above the legal limit and 5 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 10 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.
