What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. California has 1,466 active non-transient non-community water systems, 20% of the state's 7,479 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 6,179 California systems (83%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Junction School District?
EPA lists Junction School District as owned by a local government. The CA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 31 of the 174 active systems in Shasta County (18%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Junction School District have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between October 1982 and October 2024. By type: 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 required treatment not met, 1 reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (2 of them). EPA lists 3 as archived, 2 as unaddressed and 2 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed.
