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. Florida has 780 active non-transient non-community water systems, 15% of the state's 5,197 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,996 Florida systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates L;M Packing House?
EPA lists L;M Packing House as privately owned. The FL state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 36 of the 42 active systems in Hendry County (86%) are also privately owned.
Does L;M Packing House have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 4 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2019. The violations listed here began between October 2004 and October 2019. By type: 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 monitoring and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (2 of them). EPA lists 2 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.
