EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2009. The violations listed here began between May 1995 and September 2009. By type: 3 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 required treatment not met and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 4 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.
