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 July 2016 and October 2023. By type: 6 monitoring and 6 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (6 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.
