Does Struve Rd Ws #02 have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 9 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2024. The violations listed here began between July 2007 and July 2024. By type: 9 contaminant level above the legal limit and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (9 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 as resolved. 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.
