Does Rosedale Water Works have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between June 1980 and October 2025.

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.
