Does Ogilvie have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between January 1994 and July 2025. By type: 3 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them).
