How does Wolcott Police Dept compare with other water systems in New Haven County?

By EPA's size categories, Wolcott Police Dept is a very small system (500 people or fewer). New Haven County has 212 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Wolcott Police Dept 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 Wolcott Police Dept?

EPA lists Wolcott Police Dept as owned by a local government. 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. 32 of the 212 active systems in New Haven County (15%) are also owned by a local government.
