Does Lowell Correctional Institution Annex have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2023. The violations listed here began between January 2019 and February 2023. By type: 9 monitoring, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (9 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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.
