Does Ej Water-Witt have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2012. The violations listed here began between July 1994 and August 2012. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 9 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.
