EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2021. The violations listed here began between February 1984 and October 2021. By type: 7 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them).
