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 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
http://www.epa.gov/safewater/data/getdata.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--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.

* 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
