Does Carousel Dairy Bar have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in June 2024. The violations listed here began between December 1979 and June 2024. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 7 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.
