Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2016. The violations listed here began between January 1999 and January 2016. By type: 6 contaminant level above the legal limit, 5 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (6 of them). 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.
