How does Aspen Ranch compare with other water systems in Wayne County?
By EPA's size categories, Aspen Ranch is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Wayne County has 18 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 252 people per system, and accounts for 1.4% of the 4,533 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Utah, the 1,133 active systems average 3,458 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Aspen Ranch is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Utah has 84 active non-transient non-community water systems, 7.4% of the state's 1,133 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 898 Utah systems (79%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Aspen Ranch?
EPA lists Aspen Ranch as privately owned. The UT state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 5 of the 18 active systems in Wayne County (28%) are also privately owned.
Does Aspen Ranch have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between September 2017 and January 2026. By type: 5 contaminant level above the legal limit, 4 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (6 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 5 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.
