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. Maine has 385 active non-transient non-community water systems, 21% of the state's 1,862 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,780 Maine systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Washington County Community College #2?
EPA lists Washington County Community College #2 as privately owned. The ME state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 71 of the 109 active systems in Washington County (65%) are also privately owned.
Does Washington County Community College #2 have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2025. The violations listed here began between January 1993 and June 2025. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 1 required treatment not met, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved, 2 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.
