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

Minnesota has 5,008 active transient non-community water systems, 77% of the state's 6,465 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. 17 Minnesota systems (0.3%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Kawishiwi Lodge Inc..?

Does Kawishiwi Lodge Inc.. have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2023. The violations listed here began between July 1997 and June 2023. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 4 required treatment not met, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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.
