Does Overland Stockyard have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 9 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2014. The violations listed here began between October 1998 and January 2014. By type: 9 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (10 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 1 as resolved.
