Does Spring Lake Park have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between May 1992 and January 2026. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting and 4 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Combined Radium (-226 and -228) (4 of them). EPA lists 5 as resolved and 3 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.
