How does Pilgrim Church compare with other water systems in Middlesex County?
By EPA's size categories, Pilgrim Church is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Middlesex County has 204 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 7,986 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 1,629,099 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Massachusetts, the 1,636 active systems average 6,275 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Pilgrim Church is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

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.
