What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?

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 Orchid Macdee, LLC?

Does Orchid Macdee, LLC have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in December 2024. The violations listed here began between January 2011 and December 2024. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed and 1 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
