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 Haskell Water System?
EPA lists Haskell Water System as owned by a local government. 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. 9 of the 11 active systems in Saline County (82%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Haskell Water System have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in November 2017. The violations listed here began between October 1991 and November 2017. By type: 4 required treatment not met, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved and 2 as archived. 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. 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.
