By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 5 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved, 3 as archived and 2 as unaddressed. 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.

Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
