Does Savannah-I & D have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2025. The violations listed here began between October 2002 and August 2025. By type: 7 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 monitoring and reporting and 2 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 10 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.
