Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Pardee Center is well below that figure.
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. Surface water means the system draws its water from rivers, lakes, streams or reservoirs. 609 California systems (8.1%) list surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Pardee Center?
EPA lists Pardee Center 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. 12 of the 51 active systems in Calaveras County (24%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Pardee Center have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 1995. The violations listed here began between February 1984 and February 1995. By type: 8 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 required treatment not met and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 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. 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.
