How does Vista Grande compare with other water systems in Rich County?
By EPA's size categories, Vista Grande is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Rich County has 21 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 217 people per system, and accounts for 1% of the 4,549 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 Vista Grande 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 Vista Grande?
EPA lists Vista Grande 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. 10 of the 21 active systems in Rich County (48%) are also privately owned.
Does Vista Grande have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2021. The violations listed here began between January 2003 and April 2021. By type: 5 required treatment not met, 5 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
