How does Wildkat Ranch compare with other water systems in Mineral County?
By EPA's size categories, Wildkat Ranch is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Mineral County has 8 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.
Who owns and regulates Wildkat Ranch?

Does Wildkat Ranch have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in June 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2020 and June 2025. By type: 8 monitoring and 4 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (8 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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.
