Introduction

As of September 30, 2011, there were 152,713 active public drinking water systems in the
United States regularly supplying drinking water to at least 25 people or having 15 service
connections for 180 or more days per year. The tables in this report group these water systems
into categories that highlight their similarities and their differences. For example, most people in
the United States (a little less than 300 million) receive their drinking water from one of the
51,356 community water systems (CWS). Of these water systems, 4,221 or 8%, serve more than
246 million or 82%, of the total population. Similarly, more water systems use ground water
rather than surface water as a source, but more people receive their water from a system
supplied by surface 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 (EPA) official record of public drinking water systems, their violations of EPA
and state regulations, and enforcement actions taken by EPA or states as a result of those
violations. EPA maintains these data using information collected and submitted to EPA by the
states.

This report also contains figures on the types and locations of underground injection control
(UIC) 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 data reported by the states and collected in EPA's UIC data
warehouse.

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:

http://water.epa.gov/scitech/datait/databases/drink/sdwisfed/datareliabilitv.cfm.

Term

Definition

CWS

Community Water System: A public water system that supplies water to the
same population year-round.

GPRA

Refers to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993, which requires
agencies to set performance goals for their programs and measure and report
on the progress in reaching those goals.

GU

Ground water under the direct influence of surface water.

GUP

Purchased ground water under the direct influence of surface water.

GW

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

water system or the aggregated estimated number of individuals served by a
group of water systems.

individuals or has at least 15 service connections for at least 60 days per year
making it subject to the National Primary Drinking Water Rules.

PWSS

Public Water System Supervision Program - a national program managed by the
EPA working in partnership with the states, tribes, water systems and their
operators for ensuring that the American public receives water safe to drink.

SDWIS/Fed

Safe Drinking Water Information System/Federal - an information system that
collects drinking water system inventory and compliance data submitted by the
states and tribes that is used for analysis and reporting.

SW

Surface water.

SWP

Purchased surface water.

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 and is open at least 60 days per year.

Public Water System Data Summaries
National

The data in the following tables are based on information on current, active water systems
submitted by the states and maintained in the SDWIS/Fed data tables from October 2011.

System Size by Population Served

The following table categorizes the three types of water systems by the size of its reported retail
population served and shows the distribution of systems by these categories. For each size
category (very small, small, medium, large and very large) the table shows the:

•	Number of systems (# Systems)

•	Aggregate population served (Pop. Served)

•	Proportion of the total number of public water systems (% of Systems)

•	Proportion of the total population served by all water systems (% of Pop.)

Percentage of Community Water Systems Meeting Health-based Standards

The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 requires federal executive
agencies to develop long-term Strategic Plans defining general goals and objectives for their
programs. Under the act, agencies must also develop Annual Performance Plans that describe
the goals for their program activities and publish an Annual Performance Report showing actual
results compared against the performance goals.

Under its Annual Performance Plan, strategic objective 2.1: Protect Public Health, sub-objective
2.1.1: Water Safe to Drink, EPA set a goal of 91 percent of the population served by community
water systems will receive drinking water that meets all applicable health-based drinking water
standards through approaches that include effective treatment and source water protection.
The table below shows the performance results as a national aggregate and broken-out by EPA
Region.1

Water Information System/Fed (SDWIS/Fed). EPA is aware of inaccuracies and underreporting of
some data to this system and is working with the states to improve the quality of the data.

Community Water Systems (CWS) Violations

This section presents three tables showing reported violations experienced by CWS broken out
by the number of violations, number of systems in violation and the population in violation
(based on the retail population served). Sources for these data are as follows:

Please note that totals for the number of systems in violation and for population affected should
be lower than the sum in each row as some systems will have incurred more than one type of
violation. Compliance information since FY2003 includes new Disinfectant Byproducts (DBP) and
Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR) rules.

CWS Violations Reported Nationally by Fiscal Year

The following tables show the number of CWS violations by type, number of those systems in
violation, and the population affected by fiscal year.

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 septic. Well type
definitions are:

Class I	Deep industrial waste disposal

Class II	Oil and natural gas production

Class III	Related to minerals recovery

Class IV	Banned - inject hazardous waste and/or radioactive waste above

Underground Sources of Drinking Waters (USDWs)

Class V	Generally shallow wells; there are approximately 650,000 Class V wells
