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 Sycamore Elementary?

Does Sycamore Elementary have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2022. The violations listed here began between January 1994 and October 2022. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 4 as resolved 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.
