Does Chippewa Hills Middle School have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2020. The violations listed here began between January 2011 and October 2020. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting and 3 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 as resolved.
