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 June 1988 and December 2018. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) (2 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 as resolved.
