How does Northside WSC compare with other water systems in Wilbarger County?
By EPA's size categories, Northside WSC is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Wilbarger County has 8 active public water systems, and Northside WSC is the 3rd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,596 people per system, and accounts for 2% of the 12,769 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Texas, the 7,078 active systems average 4,789 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Northside WSC is well below that figure.
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. Texas has 4,594 active community water systems, 65% of the state's 7,078 active systems. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 302 Texas systems (4.3%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Northside WSC?

The TX state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 8 of the 8 active systems in Wilbarger County (100%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Northside WSC have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 10 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2024 and April 2026. By type: 10 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (10 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived, 2 as resolved and 1 as addressed. 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. 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.
