How does Town of Midwest compare with other water systems in Natrona County?
By EPA's size categories, Town of Midwest is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Natrona County has 48 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,680 people per system, and accounts for 0.4% of the 80,646 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Wyoming, the 775 active systems average 838 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Town of Midwest is well below that figure.
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. 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 Midwest?
EPA lists Town of Midwest 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. 18 of the 48 active systems in Natrona County (38%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Town of Midwest have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2015. The violations listed here began between October 1994 and July 2015. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 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.
