Does Il American-Villa Grove have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2021. The violations listed here began between January 1994 and December 2021. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (6 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.
