How does River Park compare with other water systems in Rowan County?

By EPA's size categories, River Park is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Rowan County has 194 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 700 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 135,810 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across North Carolina, the 5,087 active systems average 1,971 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so River Park is well below that figure.
