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.

Does Cold Water Canyon have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2019. The violations listed here began between June 2013 and July 2019. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring, 2 required treatment not met and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved 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. 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.
