Does Georgia Port Colonels Island have drinking water violations?

By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (4 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.
