How does Kingsford Mfg Co compare with other water systems in Maries County?
By EPA's size categories, Kingsford Mfg Co is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Maries County has 10 active public water systems.

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. Missouri has 228 active non-transient non-community water systems, 7.7% 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 Kingsford Mfg Co?
EPA lists Kingsford Mfg Co 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. 4 of the 10 active systems in Maries County (40%) are also privately owned.
