By EPA's size categories, Anawan Junction is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Bristol County has 133 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Anawan Junction is about 65% below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Massachusetts has 859 active transient non-community water systems, 53% of the state's 1,636 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,354 Massachusetts systems (83%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Anawan Junction?
EPA lists Anawan Junction as privately owned. The MA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 95 of the 133 active systems in Bristol County (71%) are also privately owned.
Does Anawan Junction have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2008. The violations listed here began between August 1999 and August 2008. By type: 7 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting and 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (10 of them). EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 as resolved. 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. 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.
