BIG DIPPER HOUSING is one of 357 community water systems in North Dakota in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 150 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2016; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 9 entries between 1992 and 2014, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2014.

Of the 9, 8 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 the Total Coliform Rules, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
