What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. New York has 2,281 active community water systems, 28% of the state's 8,167 active systems. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 241 New York systems (3%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Skyhook Apartments?

Does Skyhook Apartments have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2018. The violations listed here began between January 1993 and October 2018. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (2 of them). EPA lists 4 as archived and 2 as resolved.
