Does Redwood Lake have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2022. The violations listed here began between July 2005 and October 2022. By type: 7 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 4 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 3 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. 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.
