How does Village West I compare with other water systems in Belknap County?
By EPA's size categories, Village West I is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Belknap County has 255 active public water systems. Its population served is about 59% below the county average of 278 people per system, and accounts for 0.2% of the 70,916 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 Village West I 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 Village West I?
EPA lists Village West I 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. 232 of the 255 active systems in Belknap County (91%) are also privately owned.
Does Village West I have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between April 1994 and March 2026. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
