How does Point Bay Marina compare with other water systems in Chittenden County?
By EPA's size categories, Point Bay Marina is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Chittenden County has 96 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,566 people per system, and accounts for 0.2% of the 150,374 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Point Bay Marina is about twice that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Vermont has 699 active transient non-community water systems, 52% 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 Point Bay Marina?
EPA lists Point Bay Marina as privately owned. 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. 59 of the 96 active systems in Chittenden County (61%) are also privately owned.
Does Point Bay Marina have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2017. The violations listed here began between October 2001 and October 2017. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 monitoring and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 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.
