What does “community water system” mean?

Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Tennessee has 450 active community water systems, 33% of the state's 1,383 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,038 Tennessee systems (75%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Loon Bay P.O.A.?

Does Loon Bay P.O.A. have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in November 2015. The violations listed here began between January 1994 and November 2015. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 as resolved. 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. 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.
