Does Madison have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between June 1991 and October 2024. By type: 3 contaminant level above the legal limit and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Haloacetic acids (HAA5) (3 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved and 1 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.
