How does Hymera Water Works compare with other water systems in Sullivan County?
By EPA's size categories, Hymera Water Works is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Sullivan County has 13 active public water systems. Its population served is about 32% below the county average of 1,497 people per system, and accounts for 5.2% of the 19,464 people reported by systems filed under the county.

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. Indiana has 770 active community water systems, 19% of the state's 3,969 active systems. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 83 Indiana systems (2.1%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Hymera Water Works?
EPA lists Hymera Water Works as owned by a local government. The IN state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 8 of the 13 active systems in Sullivan County (62%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Hymera Water Works have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2021. The violations listed here began between January 1992 and January 2021. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 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.
