How does Battle Creek Market compare with other water systems in Marion County?
By EPA's size categories, Battle Creek Market is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Marion County has 11 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 2,570 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 28,274 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Tennessee, the 1,383 active systems average 5,780 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Battle Creek Market is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Tennessee has 891 active transient non-community water systems, 64% of the state's 1,383 active systems. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 44 Tennessee systems (3.2%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Battle Creek Market?
EPA lists Battle Creek Market as privately owned. The TN state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 7 of the 11 active systems in Marion County (64%) are also privately owned.
Does Battle Creek Market have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2016. The violations listed here began between June 2009 and December 2016. By type: 7 required treatment not met and 5 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 6 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.
