How does Ta Travel Plaza compare with other water systems in Tolland County?

By EPA's size categories, Ta Travel Plaza is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Tolland County has 296 active public water systems. Its population served is about 36% below the county average of 202 people per system, and accounts for 0.2% of the 59,796 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Connecticut, the 2,363 active systems average 1,247 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Ta Travel Plaza 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. Connecticut has 483 active non-transient non-community water systems, 20% of the state's 2,363 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,263 Connecticut systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates Ta Travel Plaza?

EPA lists Ta Travel Plaza as privately owned. The CT state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 253 of the 296 active systems in Tolland County (85%) are also privately owned.

Does Ta Travel Plaza have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2020 and July 2025. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 6 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.
