By EPA's size categories, Riverbend Nursery is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Floyd County has 21 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Riverbend Nursery 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. 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 Riverbend Nursery?
EPA lists Riverbend Nursery 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. 17 of the 21 active systems in Floyd County (81%) are also privately owned.
