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 groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 69 Arkansas systems (8.1%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Success Waterworks?
EPA lists Success Waterworks 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. 13 of the 13 active systems in Clay County (100%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Success Waterworks have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2017. The violations listed here began between September 1998 and September 2017. By type: 2 monitoring, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 4 as resolved and 3 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.
