How does Greif Riverville compare with other water systems in Amherst County?
By EPA's size categories, Greif Riverville is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Amherst County has 12 active public water systems, and Greif Riverville is the 3rd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,523 people per system, and accounts for 1.8% of the 18,270 people reported by systems filed under the county. 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 Greif Riverville is about 25% 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. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,089 Virginia systems (86%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Greif Riverville?
EPA lists Greif Riverville as privately owned. 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. 10 of the 12 active systems in Amherst County (83%) are also privately owned.
Does Greif Riverville have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2020. The violations listed here began between June 1979 and June 2020. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 monitoring and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 3 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.
