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. Illinois has 396 active non-transient non-community water systems, 10% of the state's 3,872 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,808 Illinois systems (73%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Richardson Electronics Ltd?
EPA lists Richardson Electronics Ltd as under public/private ownership. The IL state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 20 of the 118 active systems in Kane County (17%) are also under public/private ownership.
Does Richardson Electronics Ltd have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2025 and March 2026. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting and 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (3 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 as unaddressed.
