Does Mikkola Downs S/D 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 2004. The violations listed here began between January 1992 and January 2004. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Barium (2 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.
