EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2025. The violations listed here began between June 1980 and September 2025.

The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 9 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.
