Ohio has 2,282 active transient non-community water systems, 59% of the state's 3,854 active systems. Surface water means the system draws its water from rivers, lakes, streams or reservoirs. 102 Ohio systems (2.6%) list surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Camp Patmos?

Does Camp Patmos have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2011 and August 2025. By type: 6 required treatment not met, 3 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved 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.
