Does Economy Inn have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2021. The violations listed here began between March 1984 and January 2021. By type: 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminants or rules involved are Nitrite, Total coliform bacteria (TCR) and Nitrate. EPA lists 3 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. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
