Michigan has 1,402 active non-transient non-community water systems, 13% of the state's 10,599 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 10,214 Michigan systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Does Big Bay De Noc 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 January 2020. The violations listed here began between January 2011 and January 2020. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminants or rules involved are Lead and Copper Rule, Aldicarb sulfone, Atrazine and Endrin. 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.
