How does Babler State Park compare with other water systems in St. Louis County?
By EPA's size categories, Babler State Park is a very small system (500 people or fewer). St. Louis County has 23 active public water systems, and Babler State Park is the 6th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is well below the county average of 49,800 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 1,145,404 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Missouri, the 2,943 active systems average 2,049 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Babler State Park is about 3.5 times that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

Missouri has 1,103 active transient non-community water systems, 37% 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 Babler State Park?

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. 4 of the 23 active systems in St. Louis County (17%) are also owned by a state government.
Does Babler State Park have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2009. The violations listed here began between October 1991 and June 2009. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting and 3 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (11 of them). EPA lists 10 as archived and 1 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.
