Does LDS Church Malta have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in December 2016. The violations listed here began between July 1992 and December 2016. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived, 2 as resolved and 1 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. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
