Does Moosehead Family Campground have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2024. The violations listed here began between January 1994 and June 2024. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 required treatment not met and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 2 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.
