Does Young Life Southwind have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2025. The violations listed here began between October 1982 and April 2025. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 1 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
