Does City of Montpelier have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2007. The violations listed here began between August 1988 and December 2007. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (11 of them). EPA lists 12 as archived.
