Does South Meadow Village have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2023. The violations listed here began between January 2008 and January 2023. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 1 required treatment not met, 1 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminants or rules involved are Lead and Copper Rule, Total coliform bacteria (TCR), Consumer Confidence Rule and p-Dichlorobenzene. EPA lists 9 as archived, 2 as resolved and 1 as addressed. 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. 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. Addressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is covered by formal enforcement.
