Does Wolf Creek Market & Restaurant have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2023. The violations listed here began between March 2011 and July 2023. By type: 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 5 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (5 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 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.
