Does Kelly Water District have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2022. The violations listed here began between January 1993 and October 2022. By type: 5 contaminant level above the legal limit and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 5 as archived, 1 as unaddressed and 1 as resolved.

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.
