Does Saka Japanese Restaurant have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2021. The violations listed here began between January 1996 and December 2021. By type: 3 reporting, 3 monitoring, 3 monitoring and reporting and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 10 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.
