Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2022 and July 2025. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 2 required treatment not met, 2 reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (5 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.
