Description:

Community water system service areas describe the geographic area that receives drinking water from a given community water system. Knowing these boundaries help to connect water system data (such as, compliance status) with water system customers.
 

This dataset contains ~44,000 unique service areas across all 50 states. While not 100% comprehensive, these systems cover 99% of all public water system consumers.  55% of systems are sourced from state/utility databases. The remaining systems, those with no state supplied boundary, were modeled using machine learning techniques. This effort used state sourced service areas to train a model on dozens of explanatory variables including drinking water intakes in order to approximate service areas where none are publicly available.

 
This dataset used the 2025 Quarter 2 Safe Drinking Water Information System for establishing the universe of community water systems.

***Version 1.3 was updated on 04/16/25. This update replaced Minnesota's modeled boundaries with authoritative boundaries derived from MN's lead service line inventory***
 
***Version 2.0 was updated on 09/19/25. This update substancially increased the number system sourced service areas. Many of these came from lead service line inventories and utility water main data, for example. With this update, 85% of the population on public water is represented by system sourced service areas.***
 
***Version 2.01 was updated on 09/29/25. There were minor edits to about 24 systems with duplicate PWSIDs***
