Does Penn Yan Village have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in November 2024. The violations listed here began between January 2021 and November 2024. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 reporting. The contaminants or rules involved are Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, Di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate and Hexachlorobenzene. EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed and 1 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
