Does Targhee Nf-Trail Creek Cg have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in May 2024. The violations listed here began between July 1991 and May 2024. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit and 2 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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.
