How does Red Fox School compare with other water systems in Bennington County?
By EPA's size categories, Red Fox School is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Bennington County has 123 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 363 people per system, and accounts for 0.1% of the 44,630 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Red Fox School 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 Red Fox School?
EPA lists Red Fox School 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. 103 of the 123 active systems in Bennington County (84%) are also privately owned.
