Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between October 2014 and January 2026. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Carbon, total (3 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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. 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.
