Summary
Alameda County has 15 public water systems in the SAFER dataset. Of these, 1 (7%) is classified as Failing or At-Risk.
That system reports serving 50 people. The county profile is also shaped by small systems: 6 systems serve 500 people or fewer.
5 systems are Not Assessed. These fall outside the SAFER risk assessment, so they carry no classification either way.
Reported funding since 2017 totals $30M across 4 systems. Technical assistance funding totals $831.
System counts and reported population
Not Assessed systems make up 33% of listed systems and 88% of reported population. A few large systems account for most of that population, so a small number of systems can shift the population picture entirely. Counts and population are worth reading together.
