How does Calfire-Alder Conservation Camp compare with other water systems in Del Norte County?
By EPA's size categories, Calfire-Alder Conservation Camp is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Del Norte County has 31 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 977 people per system, and accounts for 0.4% of the 30,300 people reported by systems filed under the county.

What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. California has 1,466 active non-transient non-community water systems, 20% of the state's 7,479 active systems. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 105 California systems (1.4%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Calfire-Alder Conservation Camp?
EPA lists Calfire-Alder Conservation Camp as owned by a state government. The CA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 4 of the 31 active systems in Del Norte County (13%) are also owned by a state government.
