Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Newton Recreation Center 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. Pennsylvania has 1,026 active non-transient non-community water systems, 14% of the state's 7,217 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 6,632 Pennsylvania systems (92%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Newton Recreation Center?
EPA lists Newton Recreation Center as owned by a local government. The PA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 7 of the 113 active systems in Lackawanna County (6.2%) are also owned by a local government.
