The contaminants or rules involved are Consumer Confidence Rule, Lead and Copper Rule and Total coliform bacteria (TCR). EPA lists 2 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.
