How does Woods Ranch compare with other water systems in Iron County?
By EPA's size categories, Woods Ranch 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 less than 0.1% 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 transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Woods Ranch 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 Woods Ranch?
EPA lists Woods Ranch 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. 12 of the 40 active systems in Iron County (30%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Woods Ranch have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2024. The violations listed here began between January 2008 and August 2024. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring and 2 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (5 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.
