How does Cape Cod Space Force Station compare with other water systems in Barnstable County?
By EPA's size categories, Cape Cod Space Force Station is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Barnstable County has 125 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 5,016 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 627,054 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Massachusetts, the 1,636 active systems average 6,275 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Cape Cod Space Force Station 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. Massachusetts has 246 active non-transient non-community water systems, 15% 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 Cape Cod Space Force Station?
EPA lists Cape Cod Space Force Station as owned by the federal government. 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. 10 of the 125 active systems in Barnstable County (8%) are also owned by the federal government.
Does Cape Cod Space Force Station have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2012. The violations listed here began between April 1993 and March 2012. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminants or rules involved are Total coliform bacteria (TCR), Ethylbenzene, Toluene and Chlorobenzene. EPA lists 11 as archived and 1 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.
