Does Rock Creek #1 have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2022. The violations listed here began between June 1999 and December 2022. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 required treatment not met and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 6 as archived and 4 as resolved. 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. 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.
