How does Town of Alberta compare with other water systems in Brunswick County?
By EPA's size categories, Town of Alberta is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Brunswick County has 18 active public water systems. Its population served is about half of the county average of 579 people per system, and accounts for 2.9% of the 10,426 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Virginia, the 2,420 active systems average 3,122 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Town of Alberta is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Virginia has 844 active community water systems, 35% of the state's 2,420 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 162 Virginia systems (6.7%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Town of Alberta?
EPA lists Town of Alberta as owned by a local government. The VA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 7 of the 18 active systems in Brunswick County (39%) are also owned by a local government.
