How does Old Lawrence Road compare with other water systems in Hillsborough County?
By EPA's size categories, Old Lawrence Road is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Hillsborough County has 279 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,206 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 336,507 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 Old Lawrence Road 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 Old Lawrence Road?
EPA lists Old Lawrence Road 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. 238 of the 279 active systems in Hillsborough County (85%) are also privately owned.
Does Old Lawrence Road have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2016. The violations listed here began between July 2012 and September 2016. By type: 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (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.
