How does Cuba compare with other water systems in Fulton County?
By EPA's size categories, Cuba is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Fulton County has 30 active public water systems, and Cuba is the 6th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is roughly in line with the county average of 1,128 people per system, and accounts for 3.5% of the 33,849 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Illinois, the 3,872 active systems average 3,204 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Cuba is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Illinois has 1,773 active community water systems, 46% of the state's 3,872 active systems. Purchased groundwater under the influence of surface water means the system buys that kind of water from another public water system. 4 Illinois systems (0.1%) list purchased groundwater under influence as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Cuba?
EPA lists Cuba as owned by a local government. The IL state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 19 of the 30 active systems in Fulton County (63%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Cuba have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in May 2024. The violations listed here began between October 1996 and May 2024. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 5 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.
