How does Wellington City compare with other water systems in Carbon County?
By EPA's size categories, Wellington City is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Carbon County has 21 active public water systems, and Wellington City is the 4th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 54% above the county average of 1,089 people per system, and accounts for 7.3% of the 22,864 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 Wellington City 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. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 106 Utah systems (9.4%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Wellington City?
EPA lists Wellington City as owned by a local 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 21 active systems in Carbon County (33%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Wellington City have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2018 and October 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved 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. 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.
