Does Villa Del Monte Mwc have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2006. The violations listed here began between December 1983 and September 2006. By type: 10 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminants or rules involved are Total coliform bacteria (TCR) and Lead and Copper Rule. EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 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.
