What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Utah has 509 active transient non-community water systems, 45% of the state's 1,133 active systems. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 68 Utah systems (6%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Bear River Admin Site?
EPA lists Bear River Admin Site as owned by the federal government. 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. 11 of the 79 active systems in Summit County (14%) are also owned by the federal government.
Does Bear River Admin Site have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between July 1992 and October 2025. By type: 4 monitoring, 3 required treatment not met, 3 monitoring and reporting and 2 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
