How does Peoples Gas compare with other water systems in Champaign County?
By EPA's size categories, Peoples Gas is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Champaign County has 66 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 3,158 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 208,407 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 Peoples Gas 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 Peoples Gas?
EPA lists Peoples Gas 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. 45 of the 66 active systems in Champaign County (68%) are also privately owned.
