Does Camp Sozo have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2007. The violations listed here began between October 1982 and July 2007. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 1 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 3 as archived, 2 as unaddressed and 1 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
