How does Tomball Forest compare with other water systems in Waller County?
By EPA's size categories, Tomball Forest is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Waller County has 67 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 920 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 61,644 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 Tomball Forest is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Texas has 862 active non-transient non-community water systems, 12% of the state's 7,078 active systems. 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.
Who owns and regulates Tomball Forest?
EPA lists Tomball Forest as privately owned. 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. 40 of the 67 active systems in Waller County (60%) are also privately owned.
Does Tomball Forest have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2025. The violations listed here began between May 2020 and August 2025. By type: 6 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 5 monitoring and reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (6 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed and 1 as archived. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet 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.
