How does Sutcliffe compare with other water systems in Nevada?
By EPA's size categories, Sutcliffe is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Across Nevada, the 643 active systems average 5,508 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Sutcliffe 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 Sutcliffe?
EPA lists Sutcliffe as Native American-owned. The EPA Region 09 is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
Does Sutcliffe have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2024 and October 2025. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring, 1 reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Chlorine (6 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
