Wyoming has 352 active transient non-community water systems, 45% of the state's 775 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 585 Wyoming systems (75%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Bhnf-Burgess Rs?
EPA lists Bhnf-Burgess Rs as owned by the federal government.

Does Bhnf-Burgess Rs have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2024. The violations listed here began between April 2003 and January 2024. By type: 6 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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.
