How does Snowy Mountain Lodge compare with other water systems in Albany County?
By EPA's size categories, Snowy Mountain Lodge is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Albany County has 25 active public water 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 Snowy Mountain Lodge?

Does Snowy Mountain Lodge have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2004 and January 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (9 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.
