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. Louisiana has 125 active non-transient non-community water systems, 11% 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 Sixth Ward Cafeteria?

EPA lists Sixth Ward Cafeteria as owned by a local government. 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. 37 of the 170 active systems in St. Tammany Parish County (22%) are also owned by a local government.

Does Sixth Ward Cafeteria have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in November 2023. The violations listed here began between January 2004 and November 2023. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 2 required treatment not met and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
