How does Houseman'S Foods compare with other water systems in Lake County?
By EPA's size categories, Houseman'S Foods is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lake County has 73 active public water systems. Its population served is about 65% below the county average of 110 people per system, and accounts for 0.5% of the 7,999 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Michigan, the 10,599 active systems average 847 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Houseman'S Foods is well below that figure.
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. 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.
Who owns and regulates Houseman'S Foods?
EPA lists Houseman'S Foods as privately owned. The MI state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 70 of the 73 active systems in Lake County (96%) are also privately owned.
Does Houseman'S Foods have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2017. The violations listed here began between January 2011 and July 2017. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminants or rules involved are Revised Total Coliform Rule, Picloram, cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene and Endrin. EPA lists 6 as resolved and 6 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.
