Does Far Hills Country Day School have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in December 2018. The violations listed here began between January 1990 and December 2018. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (3 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 as resolved.
