How does Circle of Care Early Learners compare with other water systems in Cecil County?
By EPA's size categories, Circle of Care Early Learners is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Cecil County has 166 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 343 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 56,867 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Maryland, the 2,992 active systems average 1,947 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Circle of Care Early Learners is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Maryland has 491 active non-transient non-community water systems, 16% of the state's 2,992 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,870 Maryland systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Circle of Care Early Learners?
EPA lists Circle of Care Early Learners as privately owned. The MD state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 148 of the 166 active systems in Cecil County (89%) are also privately owned.
Does Circle of Care Early Learners have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between October 2020 and March 2026. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 4 required treatment not met, 2 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (8 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
