How does Hull compare with other water systems in Pike County?
By EPA's size categories, Hull is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Pike County has 13 active public water systems, and Hull is the 6th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 64% below the county average of 1,223 people per system, and accounts for 2.7% of the 15,892 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 Hull 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. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,808 Illinois systems (73%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Hull?
EPA lists Hull 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. 13 of the 13 active systems in Pike County (100%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Hull have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 1999. The violations listed here began between January 1998 and January 1999. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting and 4 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Tetrachloroethylene (4 of them). EPA lists 11 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.
