COVE SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT is one of 338 community water systems in Utah in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 115 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 6 entries between 1991 and 2017, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2017.
Of the 6, 5 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
