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. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Virginia has 443 active non-transient non-community water systems, 18% 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 Wilderness Camping Resorts?
EPA lists Wilderness Camping Resorts as privately owned. The VA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 22 of the 36 active systems in Spotsylvania County (61%) are also privately owned.
Does Wilderness Camping Resorts have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between November 2016 and January 2025. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate-Nitrite (6 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
