Utah has 509 active transient non-community water systems, 45% 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 Camp Shinob?

Does Camp Shinob have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2007 and December 2025. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 3 required treatment not met and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved, 1 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.
