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 Tulane University Primate Center?
EPA lists Tulane University Primate Center as owned by a state 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. 5 of the 170 active systems in St. Tammany Parish County (2.9%) are also owned by a state government.
Does Tulane University Primate Center have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2011. The violations listed here began between July 1993 and July 2011. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Haloacetic acids (HAA5) (2 of them). EPA lists 5 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.
