How does Sun Chemical Co compare with other water systems in Muskegon County?
By EPA's size categories, Sun Chemical Co is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Muskegon County has 210 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 713 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 149,690 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 Sun Chemical Co 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 Sun Chemical Co?
EPA lists Sun Chemical Co 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. 193 of the 210 active systems in Muskegon County (92%) are also privately owned.
Does Sun Chemical Co 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 2015. The violations listed here began between January 2005 and January 2015. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminants or rules involved are Lead and Copper Rule, Toluene, Benzene and Styrene. 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. 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.
