Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2012 and July 2025.

The contaminants or rules involved are Revised Total Coliform Rule, Groundwater Rule, Consumer Confidence Rule and Total coliform bacteria (TCR). EPA lists 11 as resolved 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.
