Does City of Dover have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between April 1992 and October 2024. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 2 required treatment not met and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (2 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 3 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. 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.
