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. Oregon has 346 active non-transient non-community water systems, 14% of the state's 2,536 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,175 Oregon systems (86%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Lacomb Elementary?
EPA lists Lacomb Elementary as owned by a local government. The OR state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 33 of the 161 active systems in Linn County (20%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Lacomb Elementary have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in November 2022. The violations listed here began between October 1991 and November 2022. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring, 2 required treatment not met and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 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.
