What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Wyoming has 352 active transient non-community water systems, 45% 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 Pahaska Tepee Resort?
EPA lists Pahaska Tepee Resort as privately owned. 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. 27 of the 49 active systems in Park County (55%) are also privately owned.
Does Pahaska Tepee Resort have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2022. The violations listed here began between October 2002 and October 2022. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 4 required treatment not met, 1 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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.
