Does Meadows of Countrywood 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 July 2004 and February 2023. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is E. coli (5 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.
