How does Riverside Apartments compare with other water systems in Pima County?

By EPA's size categories, Riverside Apartments is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Pima County has 193 active public water systems.

Across Arizona, the 1,769 active systems average 4,369 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Riverside Apartments is well below that figure.
