Comments/Observations/Problems: In 1993 and 1995, "Getting Started" activities were not tracked. In the 1991-1993 reporting
period, the numbers for each step reflects WHPAs, not systems. Massachusetts protects source water; therefore, it is at times difficult
to differentiate systems that are solely groundwater dependent from those that are both ground and surface water sources. Therefore,
mixed systems are included in this table.
