How does Water Boy compare with other water systems in Travis County?
By EPA's size categories, Water Boy is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Travis County has 138 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 11,267 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 1,554,848 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Texas, the 7,078 active systems average 4,789 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Water Boy is well below that figure.
