How does Summit Culinary Water compare with other water systems in Iron County?
By EPA's size categories, Summit Culinary Water is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Iron County has 40 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,523 people per system, and accounts for 0.3% of the 60,901 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 Summit Culinary Water 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 Summit Culinary Water?
EPA lists Summit Culinary Water 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 40 active systems in Iron County (57%) are also privately owned.
Does Summit Culinary Water have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2025. The violations listed here began between October 2017 and December 2025. By type: 6 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 monitoring and reporting, 2 required treatment not met and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
