Water Quality Snapshot: Cold Creek MHP
Cold Creek MHP is a private-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 35 residents in Spring Creek, Nevada (White Pine County) through 60 service connections. Its water is drawn from groundwater sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 92 total violations for this system , of which 15 (16%) are health-based, meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 77 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2024.
The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is Coliform (TCR), recorded in 15 violations (MCL, health-based). This system has not yet been sampled under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, so no PFAS detection data is available here.
Across Nevada, EPA tracks 589 public water systems serving 3,455,285 people, with 56,333 cumulative violations and 6,657 health-based violations on record. About 93% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 95.6 violations. Statewide, 50 of 57 UCMR5-tested systems have reported PFAS detections (87.7%).
Cold Creek MHP's 92 violations sit below the Nevada average.
All figures above are sourced directly from EPA SDWIS and UCMR5 public data releases and are updated as EPA publishes new reporting cycles.
