Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between April 2019 and October 2024. By type: 6 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 4 monitoring and reporting, 1 reporting and 1 required treatment not met.

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.
