Does Camp Pawapi have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 6 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2023. The violations listed here began between January 1995 and October 2023. By type: 3 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (3 of them).
