Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between August 1983 and October 2024.

The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed and 1 as archived.

Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
