What does “community water system” mean?

Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Wyoming has 332 active community water systems, 43% of the state's 775 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 79 Wyoming systems (10%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Town of Frannie?

Does Town of Frannie have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between August 1982 and January 2025. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 as resolved. 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.
