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 St Peters Lutheran School?
EPA lists St Peters Lutheran School 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. 152 of the 195 active systems in Jefferson County (78%) are also privately owned.
Does St Peters Lutheran School have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2019. The violations listed here began between April 1991 and January 2019. By type: 6 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them).
