Does Little Kitchen have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2024. The violations listed here began between April 2005 and August 2024. By type: 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 4 monitoring and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (5 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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. 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.
