How does Fish Lake Family Resort compare with other water systems in Steuben County?
By EPA's size categories, Fish Lake Family Resort is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Steuben County has 145 active public water systems.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Fish Lake Family Resort is about half of that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

Indiana has 2,596 active transient non-community water systems, 65% 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 Fish Lake Family Resort?

Does Fish Lake Family Resort have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2023. The violations listed here began between August 1992 and April 2023. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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.
