How does Shady Side Water Corporation compare with other water systems in Monroe County?
By EPA's size categories, Shady Side Water Corporation is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Monroe County has 11 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 11,485 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 126,334 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Indiana, the 3,969 active systems average 1,456 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Shady Side Water Corporation 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. Indiana has 770 active community water systems, 19% of the state's 3,969 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 82 Indiana systems (2.1%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Shady Side Water Corporation?
EPA lists Shady Side Water Corporation as privately owned. 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. 5 of the 11 active systems in Monroe County (45%) are also privately owned.
Does Shady Side Water Corporation have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between June 1989 and March 2026. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 required treatment not met and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
