How does China Springs Youth Camp compare with other water systems in Douglas County?
By EPA's size categories, China Springs Youth Camp is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Douglas County has 38 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,479 people per system, and accounts for 0.2% of the 56,213 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Nevada, the 643 active systems average 5,508 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so China Springs Youth Camp is well below 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. Nevada has 161 active non-transient non-community water systems, 25% of the state's 643 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 557 Nevada systems (87%) list groundwater as their primary source.

EPA lists China Springs Youth Camp as owned by a local government. The NV state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 16 of the 38 active systems in Douglas County (42%) are also owned by a local government.
