Does Suffield Elementary School have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2007. The violations listed here began between January 1995 and July 2007. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (2 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved 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.
