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 Kent Center is well below that figure.

What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?

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.
