How does Lake View Lodge compare with other water systems in St. Louis County?
By EPA's size categories, Lake View Lodge is a very small system (500 people or fewer). St. Louis County has 356 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 505 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 179,795 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Lake View Lodge is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. 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 Lake View Lodge?
EPA lists Lake View Lodge as privately owned. The MN state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 298 of the 356 active systems in St. Louis County (84%) are also privately owned.
