Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 11 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2021 and January 2025. By type: 7 required treatment not met, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Carbon, total (5 of them). EPA lists 11 as archived and 1 as resolved.
