How does Town Plaza compare with other water systems in Dutchess County?
By EPA's size categories, Town Plaza is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Dutchess County has 546 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 473 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 257,968 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 Town Plaza 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 Town Plaza?
EPA lists Town Plaza 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. 445 of the 546 active systems in Dutchess County (82%) are also privately owned.
Does Town Plaza have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2012. The violations listed here began between January 1997 and January 2012. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting and 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 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.
