Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Sky Tavern is about 65% below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. 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.
Who owns and regulates Sky Tavern?
EPA lists Sky Tavern 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. 19 of the 64 active systems in Washoe County (30%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Sky Tavern have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2026. The violations listed here began between May 2006 and April 2026. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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.
