f/EPA  Factoids:
        Drinking Water and
        Ground Water
        Statistics for 2000

-------
      There are approximately 170,000 public drinking water systems in the United
States. Each of these systems regularly supplies drinking water to at least 25 people or 15
service connections.  Beyond their common purpose, the 170,000 systems vary widely.
The following tables group water systems into categories that show their similarities and
differences. For example, the first table shows that most people in the US (263 million)
get their water from a community water system. There are more than 54,000 community
water systems, but just seven percent of those systems (3,769) serve 81 percent of the
people.  The second table shows that more water systems have ground water than surface
water as a source - but more people drink from a surface water system.  Other tables
break down these national numbers by state, territory, and EPA region.

      This package also contains figures on the types and locations of underground
injection control wells.  EPA and the states regulate the placement and operation of these
wells to ensure that they do not threaten underground sources of drinking water.

      The drinking water system statistics on the following pages are taken from the Safe
Drinking Water Information System/Federal version (SDWIS/Fed).  SDWIS/Fed is the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's official record of public drinking water systems,
their violations of state and EPA regulations, and enforcement actions taken by EPA or
states as a result of those violations.  EPA maintains the database using information
collected and submitted by the states. The underground injection control program
statistics are based on separate reporting from the states to EPA. For more information
and additional drinking water data tables, please visit

CWS = Community Water System: A public water system that supplies water to the same population year-round.
NTNCWS = Non-Transient Non-Community Water System: A public water system that regularly supplies water to at least 25 of the
same people at least six months per year, but not year-round. Some examples are schools, factories, office buildings, and hospitals
which have their own water systems.
TNCWS = Transient Non-Community Water System: A public water system that provides water in a place such as a gas station or
campground where people do not remain for long periods of time.

Government Performance and Results Act-PWSS measure

GPRA requires agencies to develop plans for what they intend to accomplish, measure how well they are
doing, make appropriate decisions based on the information they have gathered, and communicate
information about their performance to Congress and to the public.
EPA's goal is that by 2005, the population served by community water systems providing drinking
water that meets all existing health-based standards will increase to 95% from a baseline of 83%
in 1994.

1 Jump in FY2000 due to new violations for failing to issue, or issuing an insufficient, Consumer Confidence report
'* Totals for the number of systems in violation, and for population affected, should be lower than the sum in each row.
  This is because some systems will have incurred more than one type of violation.

Underground  Injection Control program-inventory of wells
 Types of wells:
    Class I
    Class II
   Class III
   Class IV
    Class V
Deep industrial waste disposal
For oil and natural gas production
Related to mineral recovery
Banned, inject hazardous or radioactive waste above USDWs
Generally shallow disposal wells. There are an estimated 650,000 Class V wells nationally
Class I through IV data from annual reporting by states and EPA Regions
The Class V estimate is based on state estimates and modeling of storm water and large capacity septics
