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.

Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 1,192 Texas systems (17%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Industrial Utilities Service?

The TX state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 732 of the 1,246 active systems in Harris County (59%) are also privately owned.
Does Industrial Utilities Service have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 4 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2015. The violations listed here began between July 1993 and February 2015. By type: 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (2 of them). EPA lists 2 as archived, 1 as unaddressed and 1 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.
