Does Tajique Mdwca have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2022. The violations listed here began between October 2017 and June 2022. By type: 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 5 required treatment not met and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Groundwater Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
