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 West Geauga Plaza-East?
EPA lists West Geauga Plaza-East 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 West Geauga Plaza-East have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2005. The violations listed here began between July 1991 and April 2005. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 10 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.
