Does Holiday Acres, LLC have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 10 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2016. The violations listed here began between July 1996 and July 2016. By type: 10 contaminant level above the legal limit and 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed.
