How does Kingston Children Center compare with other water systems in Rockingham County?
By EPA's size categories, Kingston Children Center is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Rockingham County has 554 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 492 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 272,726 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across New Hampshire, the 2,450 active systems average 508 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Kingston Children Center 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. New Hampshire has 453 active non-transient non-community water systems, 18% 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 Kingston Children Center?
EPA lists Kingston Children Center 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. 477 of the 554 active systems in Rockingham County (86%) are also privately owned.
