Description
Over the past two years, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has conducted the first national survey of the infrastructure needs of community public water supplies. As a part of this survey, USEPA personnel and contractors visited more than 600 small systems to assess capital needs. Small systems were visited in every state, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Pacific Islands. Native American systems and Alaska Native villages were visited as well. A preliminary analysis of the site visits indicates that: many small systems face significant capital improvement needs; small system capital needs often arise as a result of substandard design and construction; and most needs of small systems are associated with potential acute health problems.
