Type II Non-Community Water Supply


A Type II Non-Community Water Supply is a public water system that provides water for drinking or potable purposes to at least 25 people daily for at least 60 days each year. Common examples include: businesses, restaurants, gas stations, motels, campgrounds, daycares, and schools. 

Type II Non-Community Water Supplies are regulated and overseen by Local Health Department Coordinators, known as Noncommunity Water Supply coordinators, who ensure that these systems comply with state and federal water quality regulations. Guidance for rules and regulations for the Type II Non-Community Water Supply program is outlined in the Safe Drinking Water Act, Act 399. Noncommunity water supply coordinators work closely with system owners to:

  • Conduct routine inspections
  • Evaluate water sample results
  • Assist with permitting and regulatory requirements.
  • Enforce compliance with safety standards and issue corrective actions when necessary.
  • Provide guidance on proper water treatment and contamination prevention.

Water supply owners play a crucial role in ensuring safe, clean drinking water for visitors, employees, and customers. They must meet strict water quality and safety standards to protect public health. Proper management of a Type II water supply helps prevent contamination, ensuring reliable and safe water for all who rely on and consume it. By working with local health department coordinators, water supply owners, and operators can maintain a safe and reliable water source for public use while meeting all necessary health and safety regulations.
