Does City of Bellevue have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2025. The violations listed here began between May 2023 and March 2025. By type: 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 4 required treatment not met and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Groundwater Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 as archived and 1 as addressed. 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. 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. Addressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is covered by formal enforcement.
