How does Real House compare with other water systems in Salem County?
By EPA's size categories, Real House is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Salem County has 105 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 650 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 68,278 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across New Jersey, the 3,496 active systems average 2,750 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Real House 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.

New Jersey has 637 active non-transient non-community water systems, 18% of the state's 3,496 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 3,313 New Jersey systems (95%) list groundwater as their primary source.
