How does Fry Foods compare with other water systems in Malheur County?
By EPA's size categories, Fry Foods is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Malheur County has 20 active public water systems, and Fry Foods is the 4th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,067 people per system, and accounts for 1.3% of the 21,335 people reported by systems filed under the 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 Fry Foods is about 35% 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 Fry Foods?
EPA lists Fry Foods as privately owned. 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. 9 of the 20 active systems in Malheur County (45%) are also privately owned.
