How does Bunkys Pub compare with other water systems in Lake County?
By EPA's size categories, Bunkys Pub is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lake County has 20 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 11,511 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 230,218 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Ohio, the 3,854 active systems average 2,767 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Bunkys Pub is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Ohio has 2,282 active transient non-community water systems, 59% of the state's 3,854 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 3,446 Ohio systems (89%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Bunkys Pub?
EPA lists Bunkys Pub as privately owned. The OH state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 13 of the 20 active systems in Lake County (65%) are also privately owned.
Does Bunkys Pub have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2020. The violations listed here began between October 2003 and August 2020. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 monitoring and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
