Does Livingston Twp Div of Water have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between July 2021 and March 2026. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Ethylene dibromide (EDB) (3 of them).
