How does Conde compare with other water systems in Spink County?

By EPA's size categories, Conde is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Spink County has 10 active public water systems, and Conde is the 6th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 59% below the county average of 349 people per system, and accounts for 4.1% of the 3,485 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across South Dakota, the 699 active systems average 1,387 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Conde 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. South Dakota has 510 active community water systems, 73% of the state's 699 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 142 South Dakota systems (20%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates Conde?

EPA lists Conde as owned by a local government. The SD state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 7 of the 10 active systems in Spink County (70%) are also owned by a local government.

Does Conde have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2025. The violations listed here began between March 2000 and August 2025. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 3 required treatment not met, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 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.
