Maryland has 491 active non-transient non-community water systems, 16% of the state's 2,992 active systems.

Who owns and regulates Sod Run Wastewater Treatment Plant?

Does Sod Run Wastewater Treatment Plant have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between January 2005 and October 2024. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring, 2 required treatment not met and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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.
