Non-community
public water systems (NCPWS) are those that serve a non-residential population
of 25 or more people at least 60 days a year. The NCPWS consists of two
categories: transient and non-transient.
A transient supply can be defined as a supply that serves a non-community population
of 25 or more individuals at least 60 days per year.
A non-transient supply can be defined as a non-community water system that serve the same 25 or more individuals at least 6 months a year.
The approximately
5,000 non-community water systems in Illinois must meet water quality
standards established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
It is the Illinois Department of Public Health's (IDPH) responsibility
to review construction plans and to routinely inspect and sample these
supplies. In Kendall County, the Kendall County Health Department assists
in conducting this program as an "agent" of the IDPH.
