There are approximately 160,000 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 160,000 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 (268 milion) get their water from a community water system. There are
approximately 54,000 community water systems, but just seven percent of those systems (3,797)
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 states regulate the placement and operation of these wells to ensure that they do
not threaten underground sources of drinking water. The underground injection control program
statistics  are based on separate reporting from the states to EPA.

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.

Notice: Compliance statistics are based on violations reported by states to the EPA Safe Drinking
Water Information System. EPA is aware of inaccuracies and underreporting of some data in this
system. We are working with the states to improve the quality of the data. An analysis of
SDWIS/Fed data quality is available at www.epa.gov/safewater/data/reports.html

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 (GPRA)--
Strategic Sub-objective For Drinking Water 2.1.1

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 Strategic Objective 2.1: Protect Public Health, Sub-objective 2.1.1: Water Safe To
Drink: By 2008, 95% of the population served by community water systems will receive
drinking water that meets all applicable health-based drinking water standards through
effective treatment and source water protection. (2002 Baseline: 93.6 percent of population;
note that year-to-year performence is expected to change overtime as new standards take
effect.)

Notice: These measures  are based on violations reported by states to the EPA Safe  Drinking
Water Information System. EPA is aware of inaccuracies and underreporting  of some data in
this system. We are working with the states to improve the quality of the data.

EPA Strategic Targets: by 2008, 80% of community water systems and 95% of the

standards with a compliance date of January 2002 or later.
Notice: These measures are based on violations reported by states to the EPA Safe

** 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.

* 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   Deep industrial waste disposal
   Class  II   For oil and natural gas production
  Class III   Related to mineral recovery
  Class IV   Banned, inject hazardous or radioactive waste above USDWs
   Class V   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
