How does Glen Ridge Residents Trust compare with other water systems in Norfolk County?
By EPA's size categories, Glen Ridge Residents Trust is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Norfolk County has 58 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 14,602 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 846,897 people reported by systems filed under the county.

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. Massachusetts has 531 active community water systems, 32% of the state's 1,636 active systems. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 57 Massachusetts systems (3.5%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.

Does Glen Ridge Residents Trust have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2014. The violations listed here began between February 1980 and July 2014. By type: 10 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 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.
