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 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 Voluntown Elementary School?
EPA lists Voluntown Elementary School as owned by a local government. 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. 64 of the 394 active systems in New London County (16%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Voluntown Elementary School have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between July 1993 and October 2024. By type: 2 required treatment not met, 1 reporting, 1 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (2 of them). EPA lists 2 as unaddressed, 2 as resolved and 1 as archived. 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. 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.
