How does Pcs Phosphate compare with other water systems in LaSalle County?
By EPA's size categories, Pcs Phosphate is a very small system (500 people or fewer). LaSalle County has 129 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 816 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 105,319 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Illinois, the 3,872 active systems average 3,204 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Pcs Phosphate 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. Illinois has 396 active non-transient non-community water systems, 10% 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 Pcs Phosphate?
EPA lists Pcs Phosphate as privately owned. 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. 99 of the 129 active systems in LaSalle County (77%) are also privately owned.
