Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Checkers is roughly in line with that figure.

What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

Virginia has 1,133 active transient non-community water systems, 47% of the state's 2,420 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,089 Virginia systems (86%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates Checkers?

Does Checkers have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between June 1979 and January 2026. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring, 1 reporting, 1 required treatment not met and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 10 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.
