What does “community water system” mean?

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 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 Greenwood Water District?
EPA lists Greenwood Water District 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. 40 of the 153 active systems in Steuben County (26%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Greenwood Water District have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2021. The violations listed here began between January 1994 and January 2021. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 5 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.
