How does Atlas 1 compare with other water systems in Winkler County?

By EPA's size categories, Atlas 1 is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Winkler County has 10 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 833 people per system, and accounts for 0.7% of the 8,330 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Texas, the 7,078 active systems average 4,789 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Atlas 1 is well below that figure.

What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?

Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 5,215 Texas systems (74%) list groundwater as their primary source.
