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. Maryland has 491 active non-transient non-community water systems, 16% of the state's 2,992 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,870 Maryland systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Lisbon Elementary School?
EPA lists Lisbon Elementary School as owned by a local government. The MD state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 22 of the 87 active systems in Howard County (25%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Lisbon Elementary School have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2021. The violations listed here began between January 1994 and October 2021. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 7 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.
