How does Anderson School compare with other water systems in Gallatin County?
By EPA's size categories, Anderson School is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Gallatin County has 207 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 713 people per system, and accounts for 0.1% of the 147,534 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Montana, the 2,378 active systems average 489 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Anderson School is about half of 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. Montana has 319 active non-transient non-community water systems, 13% of the state's 2,378 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,994 Montana systems (84%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Anderson School?
EPA lists Anderson School as owned by a state government. The MT state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 7 of the 207 active systems in Gallatin County (3.4%) are also owned by a state government.
