How does Concord School compare with other water systems in Essex County?
By EPA's size categories, Concord School is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Essex County has 18 active public water systems, and Concord School is the 4th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 31% above the county average of 282 people per system, and accounts for 7.3% 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 non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Concord School is about 14% 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 Concord School?
EPA lists Concord School 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. 10 of the 18 active systems in Essex County (56%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Concord School have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between April 1992 and October 2025. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved 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. 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.
