How does Verizon compare with other water systems in Putnam County?

By EPA's size categories, Verizon is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Putnam County has 382 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 150 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 57,156 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 Verizon 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 Verizon?

EPA lists Verizon 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. 342 of the 382 active systems in Putnam County (90%) are also privately owned.

Does Verizon have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2007. The violations listed here began between January 1999 and October 2007. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved and 4 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.
