How does Copenhagen Village compare with other water systems in Lewis County?
By EPA's size categories, Copenhagen Village is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Lewis County has 67 active public water systems, and Copenhagen Village is the 3rd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 3.5 times the county average of 246 people per system, and accounts for 5.2% of the 16,454 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across New York, the 8,167 active systems average 2,374 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Copenhagen Village 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 York has 2,281 active community water systems, 28% of the state's 8,167 active systems. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 241 New York systems (3%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Copenhagen Village?
EPA lists Copenhagen Village as owned by a local government. The NY state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 15 of the 67 active systems in Lewis County (22%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Copenhagen Village have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2021. The violations listed here began between February 1998 and July 2021. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminants or rules involved are Combined Uranium, Radium-228, Combined Radium (-226 and -228) and Radium-226. EPA lists 4 as archived and 4 as resolved. 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. 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.
