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.
Who owns and regulates Truro Town Hall?

Does Truro Town Hall have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2010. The violations listed here began between July 1996 and December 2010. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting and 4 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived and 5 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.
