Does Hcwsd - Georgetown have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2020. The violations listed here began between September 1996 and October 2020.

The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 4 as resolved, 2 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.
