Does Jacksonville Beach WTP have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 8 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2016. The violations listed here began between November 2000 and September 2016. By type: 8 contaminant level above the legal limit and 4 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them).
