Does Hcwrd/Seaboard Utilities have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2019. The violations listed here began between December 1991 and February 2019. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 1 as resolved.
