Does Lake Chicot Water Supply Association have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2023. The violations listed here began between April 2015 and October 2023. By type: 7 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (7 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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.
