How does Nizhoni Campground compare with other water systems in San Juan County?
By EPA's size categories, Nizhoni Campground is a very small system (500 people or fewer). San Juan County has 27 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 350 people per system, and accounts for 0.3% of the 9,455 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Utah, the 1,133 active systems average 3,458 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Nizhoni Campground is well below that figure.
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. 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 Nizhoni Campground?
EPA lists Nizhoni Campground 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. 12 of the 27 active systems in San Juan County (44%) are also owned by the federal government.
Does Nizhoni Campground have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2020. The violations listed here began between July 2010 and September 2020. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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.
