How does Craney Island Fuel Depot compare with other water systems in Virginia?

By EPA's size categories, Craney Island Fuel Depot is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Across Virginia, the 2,420 active systems average 3,122 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Craney Island Fuel Depot 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. Virginia has 443 active non-transient non-community water systems, 18% 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 Craney Island Fuel Depot?

EPA lists Craney Island Fuel Depot as owned by the federal 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.

Does Craney Island Fuel Depot have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2012. The violations listed here began between June 1980 and December 2012. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 as resolved. 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. 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.
