Minnesota has 470 active non-transient non-community water systems, 7.3% of the state's 6,465 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 6,261 Minnesota systems (97%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Cedar Creek Elementary?

Does Cedar Creek Elementary have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in May 2005. The violations listed here began between March 2001 and May 2005.
