Does Shady Grove Water System have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2024. The violations listed here began between January 1991 and July 2024. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 8 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.
