Does Homestead/Crystal River Water Co have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in November 2024. The violations listed here began between January 2010 and November 2024. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 as resolved.
