Community water system survey
EPA 815-R-97-001a
January 1997
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
conducted the 1995 Community Water System (CWS) Survey to obtain data to
support its development and evaluation of drinking water regulations. Most of
the operating characteristics of community water systems are unchanged from
1976, when the first CWS Survey was conducted. The vast majority of systems are
small and privately owned, but most people are customers of large publicly
owned systems. Nevertheless, there have been some important changes since the
first CWS Survey. This publication reports on trends and key findings from the
survey.
