Does Hiland Wc - Helton have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between November 2010 and October 2024.

EPA lists 6 as archived, 5 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. 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.

Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
