How does Camp Cross compare with other water systems in Kootenai County?
By EPA's size categories, Camp Cross is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Kootenai County has 10 active public water systems, and Camp Cross is the largest of them by population served. Its population served is about twice the county average of 62 people per system, and accounts for 19% of the 616 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Camp Cross is about 17% below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

Washington has 1,913 active transient non-community water systems, 41% of the state's 4,705 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,370 Washington systems (93%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Camp Cross?

Does Camp Cross have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2006 and June 2025. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 4 monitoring, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 6 as archived, 5 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. 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. 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.
