How does Pine Hills Park compare with other water systems in Meade County?

By EPA's size categories, Pine Hills Park is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Meade County has 56 active public water systems. Its population served is about half of the county average of 410 people per system, and accounts for 0.9% of the 22,953 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across South Dakota, the 699 active systems average 1,387 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Pine Hills Park is well below that figure.

What does “community water system” mean?

Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 100 South Dakota systems (14%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
