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 Lake Meadows Water Trust?

Does Lake Meadows Water Trust have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2013. The violations listed here began between January 2009 and October 2013. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Combined Radium (-226 and -228) (4 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 5 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.
