How does Junction Buick compare with other water systems in Geauga County?
By EPA's size categories, Junction Buick is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Geauga County has 228 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 267 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 60,890 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Ohio, the 3,854 active systems average 2,767 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Junction Buick is well below 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. Ohio has 544 active non-transient non-community water systems, 14% 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 Junction Buick?
EPA lists Junction Buick 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. 214 of the 228 active systems in Geauga County (94%) are also privately owned.
Does Junction Buick have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2001 and July 2025. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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.
