Does Emerald Landing have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2016. The violations listed here began between January 2006 and March 2016. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (2 of them). EPA lists 3 as archived and 3 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.
