How does Oakland Elem School compare with other water systems in Carroll County?
By EPA's size categories, Oakland Elem School is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Carroll County has 22 active public water systems. Its population served is about 66% below the county average of 682 people per system, and accounts for 1.5% of the 15,009 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 Oakland Elem School is about half of 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 Oakland Elem School?
EPA lists Oakland Elem School 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. 8 of the 22 active systems in Carroll County (36%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Oakland Elem School have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2024. The violations listed here began between June 1979 and December 2024. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring, 2 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 6 as archived, 2 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
