How does Quintana Marina compare with other water systems in St. Mary Parish County?
By EPA's size categories, Quintana Marina is a very small system (500 people or fewer). St. Mary Parish County has 16 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 3,945 people per system, and accounts for 0.4% of the 63,113 people reported by systems filed under the county.

What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Louisiana has 181 active transient non-community water systems, 16% of the state's 1,121 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 966 Louisiana systems (86%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Quintana Marina?
EPA lists Quintana Marina as privately owned. 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. 3 of the 16 active systems in St. Mary Parish County (19%) are also privately owned.
Does Quintana Marina have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2014. The violations listed here began between July 1992 and July 2014. By type: 6 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 4 as archived and 3 as resolved. 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. 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.
