Potential water systems are systems that are actively providing water access to the public for human consumption. Per the Environmental Protection Agency, human consumption includes water used for "drinking, bathing, showering, cooking, dishwashing, and maintaining oral hygiene".
Proposed water systems are systems that are under development and could meet the definition of a public water system when construction is completed.
The Department will contact the water system to evaluate if it meets the definition of a public water system. Please note that private residences with their own individual private water source should not be referred and do not need to request PWS ID numbers.
