Does Colonial Poplin Nursing Home have drinking water violations?

By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (3 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
