How does Creative Kids Academy compare with other water systems in Hennepin County?
By EPA's size categories, Creative Kids Academy is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Hennepin County has 198 active public water systems.

Across Minnesota, the 6,465 active systems average 820 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Creative Kids Academy 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. Minnesota has 470 active non-transient non-community water systems, 7.3% of the state's 6,465 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 6,261 Minnesota systems (97%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Creative Kids Academy?
EPA lists Creative Kids Academy as privately owned. The MN state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 112 of the 198 active systems in Hennepin County (57%) are also privately owned.
