Manage counties served by a water system

Overview

After adding a water system, you can proceed to manage the counties served by the water system by clicking the Save & Continue to Manage Counties Served >> link on the Add New Water System or the Edit Water System page.

All water systems must have a primary county served. If a water system serves a population in more than one county, then a county must be designated as the primary county served, and the second county can also be added to that water system. The population served in each county should be indicated.

Important notes about Population Served and Total Population Served:

• The Population Served column for all counties must equal the total population served when added up. As you add counties, the system adjusts the population served figure for the primary county.

• To update the Primary County population served, adjust the Total Population Served or the Secondary County Population Served.

• A water system can have zero (0) population if it is a merchant wholesale system.
