How does City of Toronto compare with other water systems in Woodson County?
By EPA's size categories, City of Toronto is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Woodson County has 3 active public water systems, and City of Toronto is the 3rd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,104 people per system, and accounts for 6.1% of the 3,311 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Kansas, the 1,041 active systems average 2,800 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so City of Toronto 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. Kansas has 863 active community water systems, 83% of the state's 1,041 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 278 Kansas systems (27%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates City of Toronto?
EPA lists City of Toronto 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. 3 of the 3 active systems in Woodson County (100%) are also owned by a local government.
Does City of Toronto have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between July 2024 and January 2026. By type: 6 contaminant level above the legal limit, 4 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Haloacetic acids (HAA5) (7 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.
