SPRING CREEK COLONY is one of 583 community water systems in South Dakota in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 80 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1996; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 1993 and 1995, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1995.
All 3 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, inorganic chemicals, and synthetic organic chemicals.
