Does Israel River Campground have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in November 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2006 and November 2025. By type: 3 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 2 as archived, 2 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
