Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in May 2021. The violations listed here began between April 2000 and May 2021. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 reporting and 3 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 as resolved.
