Does Lakeside Estates Subdivision have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2023. The violations listed here began between July 1994 and October 2023. By type: 3 monitoring and reporting, 3 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 1 as archived. 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.
