How does Jacobs Corner compare with other water systems in Boulder County?
By EPA's size categories, Jacobs Corner is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Boulder County has 81 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 5,397 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 437,116 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Colorado, the 2,207 active systems average 3,400 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Jacobs Corner is about 42% 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. Colorado has 183 active non-transient non-community water systems, 8.3% of the state's 2,207 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. 166 Colorado systems (7.5%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Jacobs Corner?
EPA lists Jacobs Corner as privately owned. The CO state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 53 of the 81 active systems in Boulder County (65%) are also privately owned.
