Does Sheena May Estates have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2025 and February 2026. By type: 5 monitoring, 5 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (6 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 5 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.
