New York has 5,182 active transient non-community water systems, 63% 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 Tabora Farms?

Does Tabora Farms have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2024. The violations listed here began between October 2017 and February 2024. By type: 6 monitoring, 2 monitoring and reporting, 1 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other.

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.
