What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Tennessee has 450 active community water systems, 33% of the state's 1,383 active systems. Purchased groundwater under the influence of surface water means the system buys that kind of water from another public water system. 7 Tennessee systems (0.5%) list purchased groundwater under influence as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates West Point U.D.?
EPA lists West Point U.D. as owned by a local government. The TN 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 18 active systems in Lawrence County (50%) are also owned by a local government.
Does West Point U.D. have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2024. The violations listed here began between November 2019 and March 2024. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved, 2 as addressed, 2 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Addressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is covered by formal enforcement. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
