Connecticut has 483 active non-transient non-community water systems, 20% of the state's 2,363 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,263 Connecticut systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates Lake Garda School?

The CT state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 30 of the 219 active systems in Hartford County (14%) are also owned by a local government.

EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 1997. The violations listed here began between July 1993 and July 1997.

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.
