What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

Idaho has 954 active transient non-community water systems, 49% of the state's 1,961 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,861 Idaho systems (95%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Bear Den Rv Resort?

Does Bear Den Rv Resort have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in November 2019. The violations listed here began between July 2009 and November 2019. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring and 3 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 6 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.
