Does Village of Anacoco have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in May 2023. The violations listed here began between September 1991 and May 2023.

The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 3 as archived, 2 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.

Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
