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.

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.

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. 8 of the 60 active systems in Hancock County (13%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Maxwell Middle School 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 2022. The violations listed here began between January 1999 and April 2022. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (2 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.
