New York has 5,182 active transient non-community water systems, 63% of the state's 8,167 active systems.

Does Lake Chautauqua Koa Campground have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2024. The violations listed here began between June 2009 and January 2024.

EPA lists 7 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed 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.
