Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 66 Mississippi systems (5.8%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.

Does Spring Valley Water Assn have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2009. The violations listed here began between July 1993 and October 2009. By type: 7 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 4 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 11 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. 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.
