What does “community water system” mean?

Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Kansas has 863 active community water systems, 83% of the state's 1,041 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 587 Kansas systems (56%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Reno Co Rwd 1?
EPA lists Reno Co Rwd 1 as owned by a local government. The KS state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 18 of the 25 active systems in Reno County (72%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Reno Co Rwd 1 have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between April 2021 and January 2026. By type: 5 monitoring, 4 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved, 4 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
