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.

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. 3 of the 17 active systems in Grand County (18%) are also owned by a state government.
Does Dead Horse Point have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2020. The violations listed here began between January 1996 and September 2020. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (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.
