How does Madison Elem School compare with other water systems in Guilford County?
By EPA's size categories, Madison Elem School is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Guilford County has 206 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 2,376 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 489,540 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across North Carolina, the 5,087 active systems average 1,971 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Madison Elem School is about half of that figure.
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. North Carolina has 311 active non-transient non-community water systems, 6.1% of the state's 5,087 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,566 North Carolina systems (90%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Madison Elem School?
EPA lists Madison Elem School as owned by a local government. The NC state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 37 of the 206 active systems in Guilford County (18%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Madison Elem School have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in December 2010. The violations listed here began between January 1993 and December 2010. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting and 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (3 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
