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.

Massachusetts has 246 active non-transient non-community water systems, 15% of the state's 1,636 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,354 Massachusetts systems (83%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Does Gabriel Abbott Memorial School have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in June 2013. The violations listed here began between October 1997 and June 2013. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminants or rules involved are E. coli, 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene, Dichloromethane and o-Dichlorobenzene. EPA lists 11 as archived and 1 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.
