How does Pizza Chef compare with other water systems in Merrimack County?

By EPA's size categories, Pizza Chef is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Merrimack County has 244 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 509 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 124,152 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across New Hampshire, the 2,450 active systems average 508 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Pizza Chef is about half of that figure.

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 Pizza Chef?

Does Pizza Chef have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2019. The violations listed here began between April 2007 and September 2019. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting and 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (5 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.
