California has 1,466 active non-transient non-community water systems, 20% of the state's 7,479 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 6,179 California systems (83%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Joe'S Travel Plaza (Eh)?

Does Joe'S Travel Plaza (Eh) have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2009. The violations listed here began between October 1982 and April 2009. By type: 6 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 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.
