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.

Does Town of Lingle have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2023. The violations listed here began between January 2023 and October 2023. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Cyanide (2 of them). EPA lists 11 as archived and 1 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.
