Does Universal Forest Products - Center Build 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 2024. The violations listed here began between January 1996 and October 2024. 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 9 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed 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.
