How does Ualapue compare with other water systems in Maui County?
By EPA's size categories, Ualapue is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Maui County has 39 active public water systems.

What does “community water system” mean?

Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Hawaii has 119 active community water systems, 88% of the state's 136 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 112 Hawaii systems (82%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Ualapue?

Does Ualapue have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2008. The violations listed here began between July 1987 and January 2008. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminants or rules involved are Benzo(a)pyrene, Cyanide, Diquat and 2,3,7,8-TCDD (dioxin). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 1 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.
