Does Jj'S Bar and Grill have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between April 1998 and March 2026. By type: 5 monitoring, 3 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 10 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. 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.
