Does Teal Point (Tui) have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2014. The violations listed here began between April 1997 and June 2014. By type: 6 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting and 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (4 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 1 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.
