Does Whiskey River Cafe & Lounge have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in March 2026. The violations listed here began between July 2023 and March 2026. By type: 12 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (12 of them). EPA lists 6 as archived and 6 as resolved.
