Does Tapestry North have drinking water violations?

By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit.

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.
