Does Cole Turkey Acres have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between December 1993 and July 2025.

EPA lists 5 as archived, 1 as unaddressed and 1 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.

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.
