Does Chatsworth have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in November 2019. The violations listed here began between December 1994 and November 2019. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 monitoring, 1 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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. 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.
