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. New York has 704 active non-transient non-community water systems, 8.6% of the state's 8,167 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 399 New York systems (4.9%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Fulton Co. W.D. #1?
EPA lists Fulton Co. W.D. #1 as owned by a local government.

Does Fulton Co. W.D. #1 have drinking water violations?

By type: 7 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Haloacetic acids (HAA5) (5 of them).
