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. Connecticut has 483 active non-transient non-community water systems, 20% of the state's 2,363 active systems. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 3 Connecticut systems (0.1%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.

Does Usaf Eareckson have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2013 and January 2025. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 5 contaminant level above the legal limit and 2 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (6 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 as archived. 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. 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.
