Does Wilmington Wd have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2008. The violations listed here began between January 1994 and August 2008. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Carbon, total (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 6 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.
