Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2023. The violations listed here began between July 2006 and October 2023. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (4 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved, 3 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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.
