How does Aqua Haven compare with other water systems in Essex County?
By EPA's size categories, Aqua Haven is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Essex County has 18 active public water systems. Its population served is about half of the county average of 282 people per system, and accounts for 3% of the 5,070 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Vermont, the 1,357 active systems average 477 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Aqua Haven is well below that figure.

Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,243 Vermont systems (92%) list groundwater as their primary source.
