How does Galena School compare with other water systems in Marshall County?
By EPA's size categories, Galena School is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Marshall County has 11 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,715 people per system, and accounts for 0.6% of the 18,864 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Mississippi, the 1,133 active systems average 2,832 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Galena School 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. Mississippi has 78 active non-transient non-community water systems, 6.9% of the state's 1,133 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,053 Mississippi systems (93%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Galena School?
EPA lists Galena School as owned by a local government. The MS state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 5 of the 11 active systems in Marshall County (45%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Galena School have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between January 1991 and October 2025. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 5 as archived, 2 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
