Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 428 Rhode Island systems (92%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Lake Forest Health and Rehabilitation?

The RI state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 139 of the 182 active systems in Providence County (76%) are also privately owned.
Does Lake Forest Health and Rehabilitation have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between July 2010 and January 2026. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 monitoring, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved, 2 as archived and 2 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
