Kewaunee Solutions

How does Kewaunee Solutions compare with other water systems in Kewaunee County?

By EPA's size categories, Kewaunee Solutions is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Kewaunee County has 72 active public water systems, and Kewaunee Solutions is the 6th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 22% above the county average of 169 people per system, and accounts for 1.7% of the 12,146 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Wisconsin, the 11,056 active systems average 469 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Kewaunee Solutions 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. Wisconsin has 891 active non-transient non-community water systems, 8.1% of the state's 11,056 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 10,978 Wisconsin systems (99%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates Kewaunee Solutions?

EPA lists Kewaunee Solutions as privately owned. The WI state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 60 of the 72 active systems in Kewaunee County (83%) are also privately owned.
