Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2020. The violations listed here began between April 1994 and April 2020. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 5 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (5 of them). EPA lists 11 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.
