EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2015. The violations listed here began between October 1982 and July 2015.

The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 5 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.
