How does Paradise Guest Ranch compare with other water systems in Johnson County?
By EPA's size categories, Paradise Guest Ranch is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Johnson County has 13 active public water systems, and Paradise Guest Ranch is the 6th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is well below the county average of 425 people per system, and accounts for 1.6% of the 5,523 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Paradise Guest Ranch is about 37% below that figure.
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 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 Paradise Guest Ranch?
EPA lists Paradise Guest Ranch 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. 7 of the 13 active systems in Johnson County (54%) are also privately owned.
Does Paradise Guest Ranch have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2023. The violations listed here began between April 1994 and July 2023. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 5 required treatment not met and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived and 5 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.
