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 Town of Glendo?

The WY state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 6 of the 28 active systems in Platte County (21%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Town of Glendo have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2023 and January 2025. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate-Nitrite (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 5 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
