What does “community water system” mean?

Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 69 Louisiana systems (6.2%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.

The LA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 9 of the 24 active systems in Rapides Parish County (38%) are also privately owned.
Does Poland Water Association have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2021. The violations listed here began between December 1999 and February 2021. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 required treatment not met and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (3 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.
