How does Shavers Fork Campground compare with other water systems in Randolph County?

By EPA's size categories, Shavers Fork Campground is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Randolph County has 29 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 887 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 25,716 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across West Virginia, the 791 active systems average 2,032 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Shavers Fork Campground is well below that figure.

What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. West Virginia has 309 active transient non-community water systems, 39% 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 Shavers Fork Campground?

EPA lists Shavers Fork Campground 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. 12 of the 29 active systems in Randolph County (41%) are also privately owned.

Does Shavers Fork Campground have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in May 2025. The violations listed here began between October 2015 and May 2025. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring, 3 required treatment not met and 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved, 3 as archived and 2 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
