How does Camp Tecumseh compare with other water systems in Carroll County?
By EPA's size categories, Camp Tecumseh is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Carroll County has 366 active public water systems. Its population served is about 27% above the county average of 221 people per system, and accounts for 0.3% of the 81,013 people reported by systems filed under the county.

What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

New Hampshire has 1,291 active transient non-community water systems, 53% of the state's 2,450 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,374 New Hampshire systems (97%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Camp Tecumseh?
EPA lists Camp Tecumseh as privately owned. The NH state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 328 of the 366 active systems in Carroll County (90%) are also privately owned.
Does Camp Tecumseh have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2024. The violations listed here began between January 1999 and July 2024. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 2 required treatment not met, 1 reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 1 as archived. 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. 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.
