Type II Water Supply
A Noncommunity Water Supply (otherwise known as a "Type II") is a water system that provides water for drinking or household purposes to 25 or more persons at least 60 days per year or has 15 or more service connections. A few examples are schools, restaurants, churches, campgrounds, industries and highway rest stops with their own water supply.In 1974, out of concern for the quality of water we drink, Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act giving the US EPA responsibility for establishing and enforcing drinking water quality standards nationwide. The Michigan Safe Drinking Water Act (Act 399) was enacted in 1976 and requires all Type II facilities to collect water samples for specific parameters, and at specific intervals.
