What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. 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. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 24 Wyoming systems (3.1%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Town of Meeteetse?
EPA lists Town of Meeteetse as owned by a local government. 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. 4 of the 49 active systems in Park County (8.2%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Town of Meeteetse have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2012. The violations listed here began between July 1993 and July 2012. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Haloacetic acids (HAA5) (3 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 5 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.
