How does Werlatone compare with other water systems in Putnam County?
By EPA's size categories, Werlatone is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Putnam County has 382 active public water systems.

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 Werlatone 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.

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.
