Does The Main Event have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2025. The violations listed here began between July 1995 and April 2025. By type: 4 reporting, 4 monitoring and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (8 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
