Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2024. The violations listed here began between January 2019 and March 2024. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting, 2 required treatment not met and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (8 of them).
