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 Skamania Elementary School?
EPA lists Skamania Elementary School as owned by a local government. 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. 10 of the 56 active systems in Skamania County (18%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Skamania Elementary School have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2017. The violations listed here began between January 2008 and January 2017. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminants or rules involved are Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), Haloacetic acids (HAA5), Barium and Cyanide. 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.
