Does Johnsons Crossing Water System have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2021. The violations listed here began between September 1995 and August 2021. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Haloacetic acids (HAA5) (4 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
