The EPA has released a Community Water System Service Area Boundaries map to 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 data about the populations that drink the water (such as, demographics). Ultimately, this data can be used to improve drinking water planning, environmental justice analysis, emergency response, and more. The service area boundary dataset includes both modeled and actual boundaries available for some states.

The EPA has released an experimental Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms Forecasting Research tool where researchers are working on ways to forecast when and where cyanoHABs may form. The data on this page are from a beta test of an experimental cyanoHAB forecasting model. Learn more HERE.
