The OH state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 21 of the 69 active systems in Montgomery County (30%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Germantown Metro Park have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between July 2005 and January 2026. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 9 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet 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.
