Does The Oaks of Kokomo have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2020. The violations listed here began between January 2019 and October 2020. By type: 4 reporting, 3 monitoring, 3 monitoring and reporting, 1 required treatment not met and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other.
