What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Michigan has 7,865 active transient non-community water systems, 74% of the state's 10,599 active systems. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 11 Michigan systems (0.1%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Keweenaw Mountain Lodge?

Does Keweenaw Mountain Lodge have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2014. The violations listed here began between July 1995 and January 2014. By type: 7 contaminant level above the legal limit and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 2 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.
