Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2025. The violations listed here began between December 1989 and February 2025. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is E. coli (2 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 4 as archived and 2 as unaddressed. 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.

Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
