Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2008. The violations listed here began between April 1994 and July 2008.

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.
