How does Berkeley Estates compare with other water systems in Berkeley County?
By EPA's size categories, Berkeley Estates is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Berkeley County has 23 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 4,234 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 97,378 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across West Virginia, the 791 active systems average 2,032 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Berkeley Estates 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. West Virginia has 427 active community water systems, 54% of the state's 791 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 468 West Virginia systems (59%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Berkeley Estates?
EPA lists Berkeley Estates as privately owned. The WV state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 16 of the 23 active systems in Berkeley County (70%) are also privately owned.
Does Berkeley Estates have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2025. The violations listed here began between October 2019 and September 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting and 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 6 as unaddressed, 4 as resolved and 2 as archived. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
