Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 11 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2023 and April 2025. By type: 11 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (10 of them). EPA lists 11 as archived and 1 as resolved.
