How does Smittys Pub compare with other water systems in Columbia County?

By EPA's size categories, Smittys Pub is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Columbia County has 205 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 529 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% 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 transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Smittys Pub is well below that figure.

Who owns and regulates Smittys Pub?

Does Smittys Pub have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2023. The violations listed here began between July 2012 and July 2023. By type: 6 monitoring, 5 monitoring and reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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.
