How does Kinderhook Commons compare with other water systems in Columbia County?
By EPA's size categories, Kinderhook Commons is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Columbia County has 205 active public water systems. Its population served is about 57% below the county average of 529 people per system, and accounts for 0.2% of the 108,444 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 Kinderhook Commons is about half of 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 Kinderhook Commons?
EPA lists Kinderhook Commons as privately owned. 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. 177 of the 205 active systems in Columbia County (86%) are also privately owned.
Does Kinderhook Commons have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2022 and February 2026. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 4 monitoring and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (7 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
