By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (8 of them). EPA lists 11 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.
