Does Tippecanoe River State Park have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2022. The violations listed here began between August 1991 and October 2022. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them).
