How does Carroll County Complex compare with other water systems in Carroll County?

By EPA's size categories, Carroll County Complex is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Carroll County has 366 active public water systems. Its population served is about 17% 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. Across New Hampshire, the 2,450 active systems average 508 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Carroll County Complex is well below that figure.

What does “community water system” mean?

A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. New Hampshire has 706 active community water systems, 29% 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 Carroll County Complex?

EPA lists Carroll County Complex as owned by a local government. 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. 23 of the 366 active systems in Carroll County (6.3%) are also owned by a local government.

Does Carroll County Complex have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between February 2017 and July 2025. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Combined Radium (-226 and -228) (4 of them). EPA lists 11 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.
