Does Whippoorwill Cove/Loch Haven S/D have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2020. The violations listed here began between September 1992 and October 2020. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 monitoring 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 resolved and 6 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.
