Does Catawba Village Pws have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between October 1984 and July 2025.

The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (3 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed 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.

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.
