Massachusetts has 859 active transient non-community water systems, 53% 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 Outlook Farm have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2009. The violations listed here began between October 2001 and October 2009. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (2 of them). 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. 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.
