Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2016. The violations listed here began between September 2008 and July 2016. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 3 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (6 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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.
