How does Applegate School compare with other water systems in Jackson County?

Across Oregon, the 2,536 active systems average 1,587 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Applegate School 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. Oregon has 346 active non-transient non-community water systems, 14% of the state's 2,536 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,175 Oregon systems (86%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Applegate School?
EPA lists Applegate School as owned by a local government. The OR state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 32 of the 200 active systems in Jackson County (16%) are also owned by a local government.
