How does United Water Association compare with other water systems in Monroe County?
By EPA's size categories, United Water Association is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Monroe County has 7 active public water systems, and United Water Association is the 5th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 57% below the county average of 1,058 people per system, and accounts for 6.1% of the 7,405 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 United Water Association is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?

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.
