How does Arrowhead Lodge compare with other water systems in Thomas County?
By EPA's size categories, Arrowhead Lodge is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Thomas County has 8 active public water systems, and Arrowhead Lodge is the 6th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about half of the county average of 59 people per system, and accounts for 5.7% of the 475 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Nebraska, the 1,226 active systems average 1,472 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Arrowhead 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. Nebraska has 489 active transient non-community water systems, 40% 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 Arrowhead Lodge?

Does Arrowhead Lodge have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2014. The violations listed here began between August 1993 and January 2014. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 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.
