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.

Does Flat Ridge Elementary School have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2003. The violations listed here began between July 1991 and January 2003. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them).
