How does West Haven School compare with other water systems in Rutland County?
By EPA's size categories, West Haven School is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Rutland County has 174 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 409 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 71,236 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Vermont, the 1,357 active systems average 477 people each.

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 West Haven School?
EPA lists West Haven 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. 33 of the 174 active systems in Rutland County (19%) are also owned by a local government.
