Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 36 Wyoming systems (4.6%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Town of Burlington?

Does Town of Burlington 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 2022. The violations listed here began between September 1993 and October 2022. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 4 required treatment not met and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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.
