Does Hidden Forest MHP have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2023. The violations listed here began between September 2013 and January 2023. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting and 6 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (3 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 as addressed 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. Addressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is 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.
