How does Balko School compare with other water systems in Beaver County?
By EPA's size categories, Balko School is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Beaver County has 12 active public water systems, and Balko School is the 4th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 22% below the county average of 256 people per system, and accounts for 6.5% of the 3,077 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Oklahoma, the 1,254 active systems average 2,907 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Balko School is about half of 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. Oklahoma has 84 active non-transient non-community water systems, 6.7% of the state's 1,254 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 701 Oklahoma systems (56%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Balko School?
EPA lists Balko School as owned by a local government. The OK state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 5 of the 12 active systems in Beaver County (42%) are also owned by a local government.
