Drinking water in Murtaugh, Idaho is delivered through 1 EPA-regulated community water system serving an estimated 130 people. Each system is tracked in the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which requires testing for regulated contaminants, consumer notification of violations, and publication of an annual Consumer Confidence Report.
PlainEnviro's health-based SDWIS extract shows 1 violation record across the 1 active community system shown here. Monitoring and reporting records are not present in the extract. The records carry 1 distinct EPA contaminant code: Groundwater Rule.
