Does Lyons Falls Village have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2012. The violations listed here began between January 1985 and July 2012. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting and 5 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 5 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.
