How does Rays Dairy compare with other water systems in Wayne County?

By EPA's size categories, Rays Dairy is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Wayne County has 46 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,955 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 89,936 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 transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Rays Dairy is well below that figure.

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

New York has 5,182 active transient non-community water systems, 63% 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 Rays Dairy?

Does Rays Dairy have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2025. The violations listed here began between August 2019 and September 2025. By type: 11 monitoring and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (11 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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.
