How does Original Works compare with other water systems in Saratoga County?
By EPA's size categories, Original Works is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Saratoga County has 216 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 916 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 197,820 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 Original Works 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 Original Works?
EPA lists Original Works 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. 181 of the 216 active systems in Saratoga County (84%) are also privately owned.
Does Original Works have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2023. The violations listed here began between January 2011 and April 2023. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 as resolved. 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. 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.
