How does Richville compare with other water systems in Morgan County?
By EPA's size categories, Richville is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Morgan County has 26 active public water systems. Its population served is about half of the county average of 508 people per system, and accounts for 1.9% of the 13,198 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Utah, the 1,133 active systems average 3,458 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Richville is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Utah has 540 active community water systems, 48% 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 Richville?
EPA lists Richville as privately owned. 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. 23 of the 26 active systems in Morgan County (88%) are also privately owned.
Does Richville have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in May 2017. The violations listed here began between October 1994 and May 2017. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 required treatment not met and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 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.
