Does Kent Island Shopping Center have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2023. The violations listed here began between January 2020 and October 2023. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
