Does Vanal Heights Sweet Water have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2022. The violations listed here began between January 2011 and March 2022. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminants or rules involved are Revised Total Coliform Rule, Groundwater Rule, Total coliform bacteria (TCR) and Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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.
