Does Beards Creek MHP have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between July 2000 and October 2024. By type: 6 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 5 monitoring and reporting and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 5 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.
