Does Deshler Village have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 4 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2024. The violations listed here began between January 1982 and January 2024.

The contaminants or rules involved are Haloacetic acids (HAA5), Consumer Confidence Rule, Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and Selenium. EPA lists 2 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.
