As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show 1 item for HIDDEN LAKE COLONY that is open and awaiting resolution. None are health-based violations — open items of this kind are most often monitoring or reporting requirements, not water-safety findings.

Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace Montana’s official records. Always confirm current status with Montana before making decisions based on this information.

HIDDEN LAKE COLONY is one of 1,084 community water systems in Montana in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 80 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 65 entries between 1997 and 2025, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.

Of the 65, 52 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves synthetic organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.

EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
