How does Apple Valley compare with other water systems in Christian County?
By EPA's size categories, Apple Valley is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Christian County has 41 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,478 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 60,576 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Missouri, the 2,943 active systems average 2,049 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Apple Valley is well below that figure.
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. Missouri has 1,612 active community water systems, 55% of the state's 2,943 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,521 Missouri systems (86%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Apple Valley?
EPA lists Apple Valley as privately owned. The MO state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 29 of the 41 active systems in Christian County (71%) are also privately owned.
Does Apple Valley have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in December 2023. The violations listed here began between January 2023 and December 2023. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform 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.
