By type: 10 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 9 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.
