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. Washington has 400 active non-transient non-community water systems, 8.5% of the state's 4,705 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,370 Washington systems (93%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Bloedel Reserve?
EPA lists Bloedel Reserve as privately owned. The WA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 164 of the 220 active systems in Kitsap County (75%) are also privately owned.
Does Bloedel Reserve have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 8 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2022. The violations listed here began between August 1996 and August 2022. By type: 8 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 monitoring and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 2 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.
