How does Diamond Saw compare with other water systems in Erie County?
By EPA's size categories, Diamond Saw is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Erie County has 108 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 8,858 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 956,649 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 non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Diamond Saw 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 York has 704 active non-transient non-community water systems, 8.6% of the state's 8,167 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 7,096 New York systems (87%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Diamond Saw?
