Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2023. The violations listed here began between April 2012 and October 2023. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved, 3 as archived and 2 as addressed. 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.

Addressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is covered by formal enforcement.
