What does “community water system” mean?

Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 169 West Virginia systems (21%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Town of Fairview?
EPA lists Town of Fairview as owned by a local government. 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. 23 of the 27 active systems in Marion County (85%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Town of Fairview have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2026. The violations listed here began between December 2022 and February 2026. By type: 9 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (8 of them). EPA lists 5 as unaddressed, 5 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.
