How does Tx Biomedical Research Institute compare with other water systems in Bexar County?
By EPA's size categories, Tx Biomedical Research Institute is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Bexar County has 77 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 37,744 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 2,906,298 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 Tx Biomedical Research Institute is roughly in line with 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.
