How does Pacific Woodtech compare with other water systems in Tehama County?

By EPA's size categories, Pacific Woodtech is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Tehama County has 109 active public water systems.

Across California, the 7,479 active systems average 5,706 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Pacific Woodtech is well below that figure.

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.

California has 1,466 active non-transient non-community water systems, 20% of the state's 7,479 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 6,179 California systems (83%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates Pacific Woodtech?

EPA lists Pacific Woodtech as privately owned. 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. 69 of the 109 active systems in Tehama County (63%) are also privately owned.

Does Pacific Woodtech have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2015. The violations listed here began between February 1983 and July 2015. By type: 5 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate-Nitrite (6 of them). EPA lists 7 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.
