Does Camp Quinipet have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in May 2017. The violations listed here began between January 1997 and May 2017. By type: 5 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 monitoring and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 4 as resolved and 3 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.
