Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in June 2013. The violations listed here began between October 2000 and June 2013. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminants or rules involved are Total coliform bacteria (TCR), Lead and Copper Rule, Consumer Confidence Rule and 1,1,2-Trichloroethane. EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 as resolved.
