There are approximately 165,000 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 165,000 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 milion) get their water from a community water system. There are
approximately 54,000 community water systems, but just seven percent of those systems (3,782)
serve 81 percent of the people. The second table shows that more water systems have ground
water than 'surface water as a sourcebut 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 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

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 oh state estimates and modeling of storm water and large capacity septics
