How does Alpine Water Association compare with other water systems in Clark County?
By EPA's size categories, Alpine Water Association is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Clark County has 9 active public water systems, and Alpine Water Association is the 5th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is well below the county average of 2,374 people per system, and accounts for 3.5% of the 21,365 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Arkansas, the 853 active systems average 3,592 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Alpine Water Association is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Arkansas has 660 active community water systems, 77% of the state's 853 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 237 Arkansas systems (28%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Alpine Water Association?
EPA lists Alpine Water Association as privately owned. The AR state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 2 of the 9 active systems in Clark County (22%) are also privately owned.
Does Alpine Water Association have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2022. The violations listed here began between April 1991 and February 2022. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (11 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived and 5 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed.
