How does Spruces Campground compare with other water systems in Salt Lake County?
By EPA's size categories, Spruces Campground is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Salt Lake County has 77 active public water systems.

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 Spruces Campground?
EPA lists Spruces 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. 7 of the 77 active systems in Salt Lake County (9.1%) are also owned by the federal government.
Does Spruces 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 May 2019. The violations listed here began between April 1995 and May 2019. By type: 4 monitoring, 3 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 required treatment not met and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (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.
