How does Hillcrest Academy compare with other water systems in Washington County?
By EPA's size categories, Hillcrest Academy is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Washington County has 24 active public water systems.

Across Iowa, the 1,828 active systems average 1,718 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Hillcrest Academy is about half of that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?

Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,502 Iowa systems (82%) list groundwater as their primary source.
