How does Norway General Store compare with other water systems in Herkimer County?

By EPA's size categories, Norway General Store is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Herkimer County has 123 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Norway General Store is well below that figure.

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

A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. New York has 5,182 active transient non-community water systems, 63% 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 Norway General Store?
