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.

Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 37 Texas systems (0.5%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates City of Leakey?
