Community water system

Definition

A park on its own well is a regulated water utility, with an ID and a calendar.

Why It Matters

The private utility term prices the pipe and this prices the permission. A system with at least fifteen service connections used by year-round residents, or serving at least twenty-five of them, is a community water system by federal definition, and almost any park on its own well clears that without trying. What comes with it is a monthly coliform sample, an annual water quality report delivered to every resident by the first of July, a state sanitary survey and a public notice duty inside twenty-four hours when a serious result comes back. None of it shows up as a line on a profit and loss and none of it is visible on a walkthrough. A seller who has run the well quietly leaves a buyer an unregistered public water system and a state order in year one. The campground next door samples quarterly for the same water, because its guests go home.
