How does Alpha Building Center compare with other water systems in LaGrange County?

By EPA's size categories, Alpha Building Center is a very small system (500 people or fewer). LaGrange County has 211 active public water systems. Its population served is about 57% below the county average of 123 people per system, and accounts for 0.2% of the 25,879 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Indiana, the 3,969 active systems average 1,456 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Alpha Building Center is well below that figure.

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. Indiana has 603 active non-transient non-community water systems, 15% of the state's 3,969 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 3,769 Indiana systems (95%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates Alpha Building Center?

EPA lists Alpha Building Center as privately owned. The IN state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 196 of the 211 active systems in LaGrange County (93%) are also privately owned.

Does Alpha Building Center have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2023. The violations listed here began between April 2002 and January 2023. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (3 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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.
