How does Pineview Water Association compare with other water systems in Pennington County?

By EPA's size categories, Pineview Water Association is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Pennington County has 150 active public water systems.

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 Pineview Water Association is well below that figure.

Does Pineview Water Association have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2015. The violations listed here began between January 1995 and February 2015. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 4 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.
