Does Holly Lake Resort have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2020. The violations listed here began between January 1995 and March 2020.

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.
