What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Nevada has 161 active non-transient non-community water systems, 25% of the state's 643 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 557 Nevada systems (87%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Does Nevada Gold Mines Turquoise Ridge have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2009. The violations listed here began between May 1993 and January 2009. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 5 as archived and 4 as resolved. 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.
