Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between May 2014 and October 2024. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them).
