Does Sea Island Company have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between January 1994 and October 2025. By type: 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 5 as archived, 3 as resolved and 2 as unaddressed. 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.

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