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. Wisconsin has 891 active non-transient non-community water systems, 8.1% of the state's 11,056 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 10,978 Wisconsin systems (99%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Baer Manufacturing #2?
EPA lists Baer Manufacturing #2 as privately owned. The WI state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 132 of the 165 active systems in St. Croix County (80%) are also privately owned.
Does Baer Manufacturing #2 have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2024 and March 2026. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminants or rules involved are Revised Total Coliform Rule, E. coli, 1,1,1-Trichloroethane and trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene. EPA lists 11 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.
