Does Hillside Subdivision have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between February 1991 and October 2025. By type: 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 2 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.
