Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Nebraska has 599 active community water systems, 49% of the state's 1,226 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,095 Nebraska systems (89%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Village of Ansley?

Does Village of Ansley have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 12 are health-based, and the most recent began in November 2015. The violations listed here began between August 1992 and November 2015. By type: 12 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (12 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
