Does The Roadside Inn have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 3 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2004. The violations listed here began between April 1993 and April 2004. By type: 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (2 of them).
