Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2024. The violations listed here began between September 1980 and July 2024. By type: 9 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 Arsenic (5 of them).
