By EPA's size categories, Blue Mountain Ranch Recreation is a very small system (500 people or fewer). San Juan County has 27 active public water systems, and Blue Mountain Ranch Recreation is the 6th-largest of them by population served.

Does Blue Mountain Ranch Recreation have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in May 2025. The violations listed here began between June 2015 and May 2025. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is E. coli (5 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
