How does Barnard Academy compare with other water systems in Windsor County?
By EPA's size categories, Barnard Academy is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Windsor County has 164 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 420 people per system, and accounts for 0.2% of the 68,857 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Vermont, the 1,357 active systems average 477 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Barnard Academy 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. Vermont has 253 active non-transient non-community water systems, 19% of the state's 1,357 active systems. 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.
Who owns and regulates Barnard Academy?
EPA lists Barnard Academy as owned by a local government. The VT state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 23 of the 164 active systems in Windsor County (14%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Barnard Academy have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2022. The violations listed here began between April 2001 and August 2022. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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. 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.
