By EPA's size categories, Apache Enterprises is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Madison County has 22 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. Nebraska has 138 active non-transient non-community water systems, 11% of the state's 1,226 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,095 Nebraska systems (89%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Apache Enterprises?
EPA lists Apache Enterprises as privately owned. The NE state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 11 of the 22 active systems in Madison County (50%) are also privately owned.
