EMPIRE MINING COMPANY is one of 293 community water systems in Nevada in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 350 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 63 entries between 2002 and 2024, all of which EPA lists as closed.

All 63 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, volatile organic chemicals, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
