Does Pond Ridge Condo Assn have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2020. The violations listed here began between June 2015 and April 2020. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived, 3 as addressed and 2 as resolved. 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. Addressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is covered by formal enforcement. 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.
