Does Wild Water Adventures have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between July 1995 and January 2026. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them).
