How does Pape Machinery compare with other water systems in Sacramento County?
By EPA's size categories, Pape Machinery is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Sacramento County has 164 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 10,325 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 1,693,284 people reported by systems filed under the county. 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 Pape Machinery 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. 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 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 Pape Machinery?
EPA lists Pape Machinery 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. 115 of the 164 active systems in Sacramento County (70%) are also privately owned.
